In one of the most remote places on earth, a bloodthirsty serial killer has claimed over 300 victims, and is still at large to this day. Now, inspired by the true story of the world's most prolific killer, comes Primeval, a horror-thriller that follows an American news crew determined to capture this terrifying murderer alive. The danger begins as producer Tim Freeman (Dominic Purcell, "Prison Break"), cameraman Steven Johnson (Orlando Jones) and their rag-tag team set out on a journey up-river in search of their subject. But the deeper they probe into the mystery of this elusive assassin, the deadlier their trip becomes.
Does anything in the above summary lead you to remotely believe that the most prolific serial killer of all time is NOT a human being? I didn't think so. Because of that, this movie will go down in the history of advertising as one of the most falsely advertised movies ever! WW and I went in to this one expecting a Texas Chainsaw Massacre type thing with some sort of a serial killer in Africa. I expected cheesiness, but never in a million years thought that the most prolific serial killer in the history of the world would be . . . . . . . . a big alligator with ninja like skills named Gustav. No - I'm not kidding. I wish to God that I was, people! The movie was basically "Lake Placid" but they were trying to take themselves seriously. How in the blue hell can an alligator be considered a serial killer!?! Isn't a serial killer supposed to plan out its kills and be vindictive or something? It's an alligator! Um . . . . . . don't go near the water? The only slightly redeeming quality about this movie is that once you start to come to grips with being so incredibly duped, the alligator actually does look pretty cool when its chasing people down and stuff. Usually, filmakers screw the pooch when they try to capture that kind of stuff.
I wouldn't recommend anyone seeing this movie. Not even knowing about the whole serial killer/alligator thing. It's basically a really big pile of steaming poop . . . . . serial killing alligator poop.
