Deep in the Oregonian woods is a dangerous, carnivorous Bigfoot who doesn't take kindly to humans intruding upon its territory. WS Oil and Gas have sent backpackers in to survey land—protected land they are not supposed trespass—and these unfortunate souls will not be welcomed by the monster that lives within. I wish PRIMAL was as good as my synopsis might indicate, but this movie is just another cheap, poorly made killer Sasquatch movie—I couldn't count how many of these movies I've sat through over the years, hoping for just one even remotely scary or, at the very least, atmospheric. You have that gem every now and then, but most Sasquatch movies are just like PRIMAL. Shaking the camera, blurring images of the goofy Sasquatch monster costume lunging towards the screen, hyperactive editing, and characters barely defined at all—PRIMAL succeeds only in following the trend of Bigfoot cinema. And, worse yet, it's dull. It's "cure for insomnia" dull. The movie immediately shows the Bigfoot and takes you right out of it because of how silly the creature costume looks. A ranger named Wade knows of the Bigfoot, his station littered with MISSING posters of those who had the misfortune of camping in his Oregon wilderness, as sister and her husband stopped by to inform him of their upcoming wedding. He tells them that he has seen the Bigfoot and receives the expected cynicism. Meanwhile, the backpackers start dwindling in number as the Bigfoot comes out from hiding to gather human lunchmeat. Some minor make-up grue regarding victims after the Bigfoot attacks them and smeared blood on the camera lens is all the filmmakers could muster.
