## Resource

A mere week into the New Year and we already have a new release that’ll likely wind up being one of the best horror movies of 2026. Johnny Sequoyah  leads  Johannes Roberts ’  Primate  as Lucy. While visiting her father ( Troy Kotsur ) and sister ( Gia Hunter ) back home in Hawaii, another family member of Lucy's takes a turn — their chimp, Ben. Ben is bitten by a rabid mongoose. While Lucy and her friends enjoy the family pool and dream-like views, Ben loses himself to the sickness and becomes,  as Roberts put it , “the Freddy Krueger of chimps,” and brutally starts picking them off one by one. With  Primate  playing in theaters nationwide, Sequoyah swung by the  Collider Ladies Night   studio to dig into her journey, including highs like working with a legend like  Alfonso Cuarón , and also the lows of being recast in a show. On top of that, Sequoyah offered up a behind-the-scenes look at the staggeringly impressive movie magic required to create her  Primate  scene partner, Ben the killer chimp. Hosted on Acast.
