There’s something in the water that makes people pretty damn hungry in Josh Reed’s upcoming survival-horror flick Primal. Set in Australia, the story centers on a group of friends who become infected by an evil of aboriginal origin (see Mel in above pic).

In an interview with Fearnet, Reed sums up the plot:

The basic set-up is that six sexy young people go out into the middle of nowhere and die horribly, but the way that that occurs is that one of them becomes infected by this thing while they’re on this trip, and she sort of descends into a primal state where her teeth fall out and she grows these incisors and becomes predatory.

But she’s also in service of this tunnel that penetrates through the mountain that they’re at, which has some sort of ancient, creature-ish entity that they don’t realize is there until the climax. They think she’s just hunting them; she’s actually trying to kill all the men and put the women into this tunnel for various nefarious reasons.
