Frank's caught wildlife in the Brazilian jungle incl. a 400 lbs. white jaguar. He ships it on the same ship as an arrested assassin. The assassin breaks free and frees the animals.
Primal hit a sweet spot of visual storytelling and existential dread that I've been craving. It's a niche blend of graphic intensity with a plot that’s minimalist yet deeply impactful. The film’s use of color and contrast creates a visceral experience that feels both primal and modern. It’s the kind of film that demands your full attention and rewards it with a raw, unfiltered narrative journey.
