Long before the Losers’ Club faced Pennywise, this stylish prequel dives into how fear itself took root.

Tamzyn, Miranda and Clayton sink their teeth into those first two chilling episodes.

From pastel-washed horror and ‘60s Americana gone wrong, to twisted births, weaponised evil, and the unseen presence that still haunts the sewers.

That’s the wild premise of Primitive War, based on Ethan Pettus’s cult novel and directed by Luke Sparke.

Tamzyn and Miranda unpack the film’s blend of war drama and creature feature, from its surprisingly serious tone to the uncanny CGI raptors that occasionally break the spell.

Made on the Gold Coast with a modest budget, the film swings big on concept but struggles under its 2-hour-plus runtime.

Still, feathered dinos and gritty tension make it an ambitious addition to Australia’s growing genre scene.
