Movies like Primeval

Jaws, the classic Spielberg thriller, shares the concept of a monster-like creature (this time a shark) hunting humans, with a focus on the fear it instills in a small community. The suspenseful predator premise of Primeval is echoed in this definitive aquatic horror.

Deep Blue Sea's intelligent, genetically modified sharks bring a similar brand of terror and chaos as Primeval's ferocious crocodile antagonist. Audiences will appreciate the lab-gone-wrong narrative and the battle between humans and apex predators.

Lake Placid is another film that centers around a massive, unpredictable crocodile terrorizing the residents of a small town. With a similar blend of horror, thrills, and dark humor, fans of Primeval will likely enjoy the alarmingly large bites of this movie.

Though centered around lions instead of crocodiles, The Ghost and the Darkness shares the true-story aspect of Primeval and focuses on two legendary man-eating lions that terrorize a construction crew in Africa, offering similarly tense animal attack scenarios.

Anaconda is about a film crew that encounters a monstrous snake in the Amazon. Fans of Primeval's predator-centric plot line and survival theme in the wild will find Anaconda's slithery scares a compelling watch.
