We’ve Seen ‘Primate,’ the First Big Horror Movie of 2026

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-21 13:00:29

We’ve seen into the future. Each January, Hollywood provides a few horror movies to kick off the new year and, in 2026, one of those movies is Primate. It’s a down-and-dirty, sub-90-minute horror movie about a killer chimpanzee starring Oscar winner Troy Kotsur, which just had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2025. And, we think, slotting it in early January is perfect because the film meets, but doesn’t quite exceed, expectations. Directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, Resident Evil

Ouch. Two flying cars collided with each other during an airshow rehearsal in Changchun, a city in northeastern China. Videos on social media show emergency response vehicles at the scene as a big plume of dark smoke billows from one of the wrecks. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like anybody involved in the crash between the two electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, developed by the Xpeng AeroHT subsidiary of EV giant Xpeng, was seriously hurt.

The US Securities and Exchange Comission (SEC) has dropped its fraud case against Nikola‘s founder and former CEO Trevor Milton, after Trump’s pardon six months ago.
