Lucy, a college student, returns to her family's Hawaiian home for a break with friends and her beloved chimp, Ben. During a pool party, Ben is bitten by a rabid mongoose and succumbs to the disease, turning him into a blood‑thirsty predator.

Setting and Tone
The film opens on a sunny Hawaiian cliffside home where Lucy and friends gather for a relaxed holiday. The bright setting quickly shifts to a sinister mood as the rabbit‑like presence of a rabid chimp begins to threaten the group. The director uses practical effects to ground the terror in a realistic, claustrophobic environment.
Primate’s Backstory
Ben was a family pet who learned to communicate via a custom tablet, thanks to Lucy’s late mother, a linguist. An accidental bite from a mongoose infects him with rabies, triggering a brutal transformation. The change mirrors *Cujo*’s iconic rabid animal trope but with a primate twist.
Survival Strategy
With the pool as their only escape route, the friends must barricade themselves while Ben’s aggression escalates. The tension rises as they juggle limited supplies, fear, and the need to stay alive in an environment that is now a predator’s playground.
Practical Effects
Director Johannes Roberts insisted on practical animatronics for Ben, using prosthetics and puppetry to create realistic, unsettling movements. The result is a visceral, in‑person gore that heightens the film’s horror elements.
Script Rewrite
Only a week before filming, the writers and producers rewrote the entire script, changing key character fates to increase stakes and unpredictability. This decision aimed to ensure audiences felt the gravity of each life loss. The final cut reflects those last‑minute adjustments.
Release and Reception
The movie premiered at Fantastic Fest in September 2025 and hit theaters on January 9, 2026. It was released on digital platforms on February 10, 2026, and runs 89 minutes. Critics praised its efficient pacing and practical gore, while some noted its bleak, suspenseful tone.
Who’s In the Cast
Johnny Sequoyah plays Lucy, Jessica Alexander is Hannah, Troy Kotsur portrays Adam, and Miguel Torres Umba brings Ben to life. The ensemble delivers tense performances that carry the story’s claustrophobic tension.
