Primal Rage: The Legend of Konga Movie Reviews

like the originality of it

In a time filled with horror movies rated pg and cheap jumpscares I feel like this movie didn’t pretend to be like the others, even tho there seems to be some inspiration from some movies. Some of the main actors bad others were pretty good and made entertaining characters and the effects were nice.

Didn’t feel much rage towards it, but not worth following the legend for

Was drawn into seeing ‘Primal Rage’ with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive.

‘Primal Rage’ is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws those films are present here, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn’t do anywhere near enough with. As a film it’s lacklustre, with a plethora of problems (huge ones too). Having said that it is one of the better bigfoot/sasquatch films out there, which generally have not fared well at all on film.

Lets start with the positives. The scenery is atmospheric and spooky and ‘Primal Rage’ is surprisingly well shot.

A few nice and creepy kills and the effects are surprisingly fairly reasonable.

Unfortunately, the story does feel paper thin, disjointed and over-stretched and some of it feels vague and under-explained. Especially in the interminably drawn out and stupid last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less scary. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. There is far too much of an emphasis on the Indian mysticism angle, which tonally gave off a weirdness and made things muddled and difficult to take seriously.

Dialogue can be stilted and rambling, with lots of clichés and no depth whatsoever (definitely one of the worst assets), while the pace goes to a standstill very quickly and drags with very little going on worth caring about. Found too many the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the supposedly creepy atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the complete lack of tension and suspense, cheapened by the dull pace and sometimes gratuitous gore effects.

There are a good deal of underdeveloped plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you jump or shocked are far from creative or scary and are pretty tame. There is not enough threat here and what there is of it tends to be used poorly, it is completely unimaginative and more odd than creepy, with little sense of horror or urgency. Some badly sagging momentum too. The direction is leaden, inexperience seems to be all over the film. There is little creativity or anything shocking.

Other than the dialogue, the acting was the worst asset apart from the hunter, a role attacked with gusto. The two leads, especially the male, are wooden and emotionless and have no chemistry together in sketchy roles and exposition-heavy development not worth investing in. The sound and editing are not great.The sound is intrusive and obvious, with some of it happening in random places. The editing is haphazard and affects the coherence of some of the goings on and story structure.

Overall, lacklustre but far from unwatchable. 4/10 Bethany Cox

My wife ran off with bigfoot.

Big foot likes blondes. Ex-con husband attempts to rescue her plus redneck hunters.

Not you typical Bigfoot. This one wears a mask to disguise himself (not sure how that works) and also shoots a bow.

Liked the make-up. Characters were okay. Mild humor.
