Got a chance last weekend to see the film Primate in open captions, starring Troy Kotsur of CODA and Netflix's Black Rabbit. Props to him for taking on a horror B movie as a Deaf actor.

Verdict: Run of the mill Horror-B movie. Missed opportunties with having more ASL dialogue.

Wife at one point during the movie: "Seriously? They're not even going to just strategize on how to---OH MY GOD! Why did you let me watch this!?"

Poster of the movie Primate with close shot of a deranged screaming Chimpanzee with a bloody open mouth and gashes over it's face with a spotlight of it's face coming from upper right side of the photo with Chimpanzee staring right into the camera with dilated pupils. The background is out of focus of a dark brown tiled wall or perhaps bars of a cage.

 Tag line is in bold impact font saying, "Something's Wrong with Ben" over the title, additional promo text for local theater in bold white font, "Open captioned" below the movie title states, "In theaters January 9".
