# Primate - Parental Guide This R-rated horror thriller follows college students whose vacation turns terrifying when a pet chimpanzee contracts rabies. Expect strong violence, graphic scares, and frequent profanity throughout. The moderate sexual content and intense animal-related horror make this unsuitable for children and most teens.
