[Review] Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal EP-4
"Terror Under the Blood Moon"
Welcome, F_J here. I caught Primal on [Adult Swim] and I instantly regretted missing the first three episodes of this limited run series. My eyes were glued to the scenes of raptors and other predators doing what hungry predators do best.
Our protagonist is a stoic caveman and the brutal battle sequences only yield to fleeting moments of deafening quiet that really drive home the atmosphere of man being precariously low on the food chain. Genndy Tartakovsky is a master of "Show, don't tell" and his Midas touch has once again made pure gold.
If you don't think hard ass art of a caveman riding a t-rex fending off swarms of primordial beasts is the tightest shit ever animated, The Addams Family movie came out today- it might be more your speed.

Today's Horror Choices 05/15/16 - They Call Her "Big Mama"
Today is Dinosaur Day. If you're one of those people who doesn't consider Jurassic Park a horror movie... well, you're wrong. That said, if you prefer something a little schlockier, Roger Corman's Carnosaur trilogy is good clean fun, while 1990's A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell brings the boobs. If you're looking for something with a bit more pedigree, any Godzilla movie will do.
Today is also International Day of Families. Once again, there are a number of ways to come at this. There's no shortage of fascinating families in the horror genre. Obviously Texas Chainsaw Massacre comes to mind. Going along with the hillbilly subtheme, one could screen American Gothic, Mother's Day or People Under the Stairs. If you're in the mood for something more serious, try Last House on the Left or The Shining. On a more international note, there's The Loved Ones and Mum & Dad, both equal parts disturbing and darkly humorous. Let's not forget the delightfully lowbrow humor of Seed of Chucky and Head of the Family. Oh, and speaking of guilty pleasures, there's no family drama quite like Repo: The Genetic Opera.
