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.

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.

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.

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.
