Primal Rage is a horror movie released in 1988, directed by Vittorio Rambaldi. The film is about a group of friends who go on a hunting trip in the Pacific Northwest and end up getting hunted themselves by a bloodthirsty creature believed to be extinct. The story follows Bill, a city boy who is visiting his friends on their hunting trip in the remote woods. The group consists of three men and two women including Bill's girlfriend, who are all excited about the trip. They set up camp in a secluded area surrounded by trees and wildlife, and start hunting.

As they venture deeper into the woods, they come across strange footprints and animal carcasses that hint towards the presence of an unknown predator. The situation takes a sinister turn when one of them disappears, and the group discovers that they are not alone in the woods.

Soon, they realize that they have stumbled upon a secluded breeding ground for a pack of Sasquatch-like creatures, which are surprisingly intelligent and aggressive. The creatures attack the group in their campsite and start hunting them down one by one.

As they fight for their survival, they find out that the creatures are not only bloodthirsty but also highly intelligent and possess the ability to communicate through a primitive sign language. The group struggles to outwit the creatures and survive the hellish nightmare.

The movie features impressive creature design and special effects that bring the primal creatures to life on screen. The storyline is also well-paced, with plenty of jump scares and moments of tension. The film's music score is also noteworthy, and it elevates the horror experience.

The cast of the movie delivers a decent performance, with Patrick Lowe playing the lead role of Bill, and Cheryl Arutt and Sarah Buxton playing the two female leads. Brad Armacost and Bo Svenson add to the star power of the movie with their respective roles.

Overall, Primal Rage is a thrilling horror movie that packs plenty of scares and action to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. It blends sci-fi elements with the horror genre, making the movie a unique and fresh experience for fans of both genres. The movie's success led to a sequel in 2018 that featured a similar storyline with updated visuals and CGI effects.
