Primitive is a horror film from 2011 that follows a group of four friends as they journey into a remote area of the jungle in search of a lost tribe. The group is made up of director Sophie (Hester Van Hooven), producer Jack (Matt O'Neill), cameraman Mark (J. Michael Trautmann), and anthropologist Dr. Eliot (Mayank Bhatter). The film begins with the group arriving in the jungle, eager to begin their search for the tribe. They are met by their local guide, Francisco (David Castro), who warns them of the dangers that lurk in the jungle. However, the group is determined to press on, and they set up camp deep in the jungle.

As the group explores the jungle, they begin to encounter strange and terrifying phenomena. They witness bizarre rituals, haunted shrines, and supernatural occurrences that they cannot explain. The group is also plagued by inexplicable illnesses and injuries, which make it increasingly difficult for them to continue on their quest.

As the film progresses, the group becomes increasingly paranoid and fearful. They begin to turn on each other, with accusations of sabotage and betrayal. Sophie becomes convinced that Dr. Eliot is hiding something from them, and Mark starts to believe that Jack is working against them. Meanwhile, Francisco seems to be hiding his own agenda, adding to the group's sense of unease.

The tension reaches its breaking point when the group is attacked by a mysterious tribe of primitive people. The tribe is almost completely silent and covered in mud and dirt, and they seem to possess a supernatural strength and agility. The group is forced to flee for their lives, pursued by the relentless and seemingly invincible tribe.

Throughout the film, Primitive creates a sense of unease and dread, even when nothing particularly frightening is happening. The jungle is shot in a way that makes it seem claustrophobic and oppressive, and the score adds to the atmosphere of dread. The performances are also strong, particularly Hester Van Hooven's portrayal of the increasingly paranoid and unstable Sophie.

Overall, Primitive is an effective horror film that relies on atmosphere and tension rather than gore or jump scares. It creates a sense of dread that stays with you long after the credits have rolled. For fans of slow-burn horror, Primitive is definitely worth a watch.

Primitive is a 2013 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.7.
