Primitiva

About This Movie

Primitiva is a curious blend of comedy and horror, crafted by Daniel Trujillo. It takes you deep into the jungle where a group of well-off friends sets off on a self-discovery retreat. It’s got that laid-back, almost surreal vibe that juxtaposes the absurdity of their wealth against the rawness of nature. The pacing is just right, letting the tension simmer while also weaving in humor that's both dark and quirky. Practical effects are employed sparingly but effectively, adding to the unsettling atmosphere. The performances? They range from intentionally over-the-top to surprisingly nuanced, which keeps the interactions lively. It's not your usual retreat film; it dives into themes of privilege and the absurdity of self-help culture, making it a unique watch.
