Having been quite well received at the 2010 Film4 Frightfest in London’s Leicester Square (hell, it won the Audience Favourite Award), Josh Reed’s monster mash Primal will be clawing its way onto DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on February 28th courtesy of Kaleidoscope Entertainment.

From the Press Release:
From the producer of Australia and Happy Feet and the SFX maestro behind MI3, Blade 2 and Underworld comes a brutal and slick horror film from director Josh Reed.

Winner of the 2010 Audience Favourite Award at FRIGHTEST, the film centres around six friends who head out to the deepest Australian outback to track down ancient cave paintings. But after a late night skinny dip, one of the girls becomes violently ill and slowly regresses into a vicious predatory state. She has gone…Primal.

Our regular followers may remember that I was less than impressed with Primal (review here), but the audience award would appear to indicate that I’m in the minority – or just a miserable bastard. Now’s your time to decide!

Special features on the release have yet to be confirmed, but a “whole host” of extras are promised.
