by

After a successful stint in theaters, the film titled Primitive War is now slated for release on Video On Demand (VOD) platforms starting from October 3rd, according to Samuel Goldwyn Films.

The dinosaur action movie made its US premiere on August 21, and it didn’t take long for it to exceed predictions as screenings filled up rapidly and viewers showed great enthusiasm.

Small Release, Big Results

During its brief stint in theaters, the film managed to earn more than one million dollars, which is quite impressive for an independent science fiction horror movie. This strong performance was further evidenced by a 90% audience rating on Popcornmeter, with many praising the film’s unique blend of action reminiscent of Predator and dinosaur chaos on social media.

Star Power and Fan Buzz

The film titled Primitive War features actors such as Ryan Kwanten, Tricia Helfer, Nick Wechsler, and Jeremy Piven, with direction by Luke Sparke. Within 24 hours, the initial trailer amassed over a million views, while at San Diego Comic-Con, Sparke’s panel captivated Ballroom 20-making him the pioneering Australian indie filmmaker to accomplish this.

Dinosaurs and Vietnam Collide

1968, amidst the Vietnam War, the narrative unfolds around Vulture Squad, a special reconnaissance unit dispatched to find a lost Green Beret platoon. Instead, they stumble upon a secluded valley within the jungle teeming with dinosaurs. As the team’s losses pile up, they are compelled to rely on their innate survival instincts due to the presence of these prehistoric beasts.

Director Luke Sparke said he’s excited for more fans to see the movie.

So far, the reaction has been tremendous, and I’m hoping that this new release attracts even more enthusiasts for this wildly entertaining film, which appears to be exactly what people are yearning for at the moment,” he expressed.
