Travel back in time to 1968 in Collider’s exclusive first look of images and a poster forLuke Sparke’s upcoming feature,Primitive War. Set during the bloodiest days of the Vietnam War, the movie is billed as an “R-ratedJurassic Park,” promising plenty of dinosaur-centered chaos and destruction. Essentially, if you love horror and prehistoric beasts, this film’s for you - something that will become abundantly clear in our debut image sneak peek.
Battling with the enemy is tough enough, but toss somedinosaursinto the mix, and you’re in a nightmare situation. Quickly finding out just how terrible the cards they’ve been dealt are, the main characters inPrimitive Warare a search and rescue party known as the Vulture Squad. The crew is tasked with dropping into the jungle in hopes of recovering a missing platoon of Green Berets. Unfortunately, traps and enemy gunfire will be the least of their worries as they discover that dinosaurs call this long-thought desolate piece of land home - and they’re not very happy about their visitors.
The first look images showcase several of the main members ofPrimitive War’s story. Dressed in camouflage, with their guns drawn, one shot sees the group slowly moving through the dark jungle, keeping an eye out for anyone - or anything - that might wish them ill intent. Two other pictures get up-close-and-personal with two of the different men on the search party as they both look startled by something in front of them. Finally, the poster forPrimitive Warlooks like it took some inspiration fromFull Metal Jacketas the design features a skull wearing an army helmet lined with bullets and decorated with a peace sign. Gripping the severed human skull in its razor sharp teeth is a gargantuan T. rex skull.
