Director: Josh Reed.
Writers: Josh Reed and Nigel Christensen.
Waterborne illnesses around the world kill millions. If you are unlucky enough to drink contaminated water, then your chances of catching a disease like cholera, dysentery, and typhoid fever are pretty good. In Josh Reed's first feature, the water turns people into blood-thirsty killers. Primal released in January of 2011 on DVD and this is an independent horror film from Australia. There are no crazed psychopaths in this film - like Wolf Creek, but there is an ancient terror residing in an ancient cave. That terror creates the tension and the moral dilemmas that hinders six friends like a bad case of stomach cramps.
This is a backwoods thriller, where Mel (Krew Boylan), Chad (Lyndsay Farris), Kris (Rebekah Foord), Warren (Damien Freeleagus), Dace (Wil Traval), and Anja (Zoe Tuckwell-Smith) set out on a trek to research some pictographs. These ancient drawings foretell doom and disease.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the outback, along comes Primal, another bloody slice of modern Ozploitation hat begins 12,000 years ago when a caveman tried to communicate via cave-painting with the presence of an unknown entity only to be devoured by the primordial evil.
Cut to today, as six friends on a field trip to find the paintings, set up camp in the same remote outback location, a decision they come to regret when sexy, slutty Mel takes a dip in a nearby waterhole,and becomes infected, with something evil, something feral, something primal. Regressing to a predatory state, it soon becomes friend against friend as the campers are picked off one by one – if not dying, becoming the same feral beast as Mel…...

Director: Josh Reed Writer: Nigel Christensen, Josh Reed Starring: Krew Boylan, Zoe Tuckwell-Smith, Wil Traval, Lindsay Farriss, Rebekah Ford, Damien Freeleagus Primal begins as we travel back 12000 years to witness an Aboriginal man who is painting a warning next to the mouth of a cave, just as he is slaughtered by the very subject of his work. Fast-forward to present day as we follow six friends, Dace (Wil Traval) the anthropology student, Kris (Rebekah Ford) the assistant, Mel (Krew Boylan) the blonde party girl, Chad (Lindsay Ferris) Mel's introverted jealous boyfriend, Warren (Damien Freeleagus) the "funny guy", and Anya (Zoe Tuckwell-Smith) the claustrophobic chick with man issues, who have set out into the remote reaches of the wild Australian outback on a journey to study an ancient aboriginal rock painting thousands of year old. The camp out excitement switches gears when Mel becomes ill after skinny dipping in a stagnant pond filled with leaches.

Primal Official PosterThe final official theatrical trailer is available for director Josh Reed's Primal. The film takes place in the Australian outback, where four friends encounter an ancient evil. A parasite in a local watering hole turns beautiful blondes into man-eating creatures and the only way out is through a Neanderthal inhabited cave!
This project will release on IFC Films video-on-demand feature tomorrow, September, 22nd. Primal will also be making an appearance at Fantastic Fest and this final trailer shows more footage from the film, but also this clip gives away a lot of the film's plot. Be forewarned, then step inside an Ozzie take on the creature feature.

Review by: Ben Austwick
Rating: 7.5 out of 10
One of the problems with contemporary horror is the seemingly endless parade of teenagers going camping in the woods, and the pedestrian horrors they face therein. There are of course some true greats in this genre but it produces diminishing returns as time goes on, with last year's Frightfest showcasing some particularly dismal examples. Expectations were low then for Primal, but a bit of imagination, a lot of wit and a cavalier attitude to genre conventions make it a surprisingly entertaining film.
Primal's teens are an unpromising assortment of clichés - cowardly boy, gung-ho boy, cheeky boy, annoying girl, sensible girl and nondescript girl - embarking on a trip deep into the Australian bush to see some prehistoric rock paintings for a college project. The forest setting is beautiful and positively vibrates with colour,...

Primal was shot in 2009 throughout New South Wales, Australia. The accents will immediately put you in ozzie territory as friends turn on friends in a vicious cycle of violence. After seeing one friend changed into a wild animal from skinny dipping one might stay away from the water. However, further chaos ensues and this trailer will give fans a good impression of what to expect from Primal.

Combining survivalist horror with the creature-feature, Primal promises to be an intriguing blend of some of our favorite subgenres. The brainchild of writer-director Josh Reed and writer-producer Nigel Christensen, Primal is the latest in the recent wave of Australian thrillers, and shows what happens when a band of hard-partying young Aussies encounter a deadly aboriginal legend. Check out our interview with Reed, his first on the film, in which he explains his film is a product of Australia's Project Greenlight. Then watch the exclusive premirere of Primal's eye-popping red-band-worthy trailer, both after the jump.
