The Primevals [3 Blu-ray Collection]

Deep in the Himalayas, a group of Sherpas subdue and kill a towering humanoid creature. Its remains - including a brain that appears to have undergone some kind of surgery - wind up under the supervision of Dr. Claire Collier (Juliet Mills, BEYOND THE DOOR), who believes it to be one of the legendary Yeti. Joined by her former student Matt Connor (Richard Joseph Paul), a longtime believer in the creatures' existence, big-game hunter Rondo Montana (Leon Russom, THE BIG LEBOWSKI), and others, Dr. Collier leads an expedition into the mountains to track down more of the abominable snowmen. Their trek results in an encounter with a tribe of primitive hominids - which in turn leads to the far more frightening discovery of beings they never could have expected or imagined. 

Stop motion FX wizard David (BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED, PUPPET MASTER) Allen's long-planned passion project was shelved in the 1990's after Allen passed away from cancer. Finally completed in 2023 by Full Moon and former Allen associate Chris Endicott (AVENGERS: ENDGAME), THE PRIMEVALS is the ultimate retro-fantasy adventure, employing a wild array of arresting, 100% hand-rendered, stop-motion special effects and a rich orchestral score from composer Richard Band. THE PRIMEVALS lives!

Prepare yourself for the ultimate fantasy adventure, an epic over 30 years in the making!

The stop-motion in The Primevals is some of the best I've ever seen.

The Primevals is a wonderful throwback to the films that once inspired us. The stop motion animation is simply gorgeous.
