Primal Rage 2018 Monster Movie “The Legend of Oh-Mah”

However, “Primal Rage: The Legend of Oh-Ma” offers a unique perspective. Directed by the talented Patrick Magee, a young couple finds themselves in an unexpected car accident.

The remarkable talents and abilities possessed by these extraordinary Yowies are detailed in the spoiler section at the end.

Primal Rage The Legend of Oh-Ma Review

The “Primal Rage” movie starts great. The storyline is credible. The dialogue is vomit-inducing at best but they aren’t going camping in the wilderness which I liked. The town they stop at is full of rednecks. They’re in the car park and they’re in the shops. They’re everywhere and they’re nasty ones. I automatically decided that somewhere these guys would die. Is there any other reason to create a large group of unlikeable characters?

The gore in The Legend of Oh-ma teeters on the maximum level and is purposely and fabulously executed. Gore-hounds will cheer during this film at the creativity used. When the shopkeeper Nickel Pete (Matt Herold) near the beginning says;

“Big ol’ hairy bastard with big ol’ hairy feet, gonna getcha!”

Quote from Primal Rage monster movie 2018

He knew what he was talking about.

Primal Rage is like the mother-load of creäture feature movie bow-downs. Sure you’ve got your iconic Yowie footprint left in the mud but you also get so much more. There is “Jason Vorhees'” Yowie and his big knife, Victor Crowley’s Yowie with an ax, the Native American Yowie with his bow and arrow, the “Predator” Yowie, and my favorite “King Kong” Yowie.

This Yowie is no ordinary Yowie and I don’t think he was meant to be the plain Jane type. He is the Yoda of the Yowie. When he reaches down and sniffs Ashley’s scent after she pees in the woods, you know the story’s not going to smart town.

A Decent B-Grade Movie

I want to hate this film for its rudimentary plot and its inability to weave the mythical side into it in a logical way. But I can’t. The more that I break it apart and inspect the pieces they crammed into this flick, the more points it gets.

Every single character in this is idiotic. Even the sheriff never calls for backup and refuses to use guns to find the monster clipping people like a maniacal hairdresser. But you’ve got to give it a pass on the kill scenes alone.

I give Primal Rage

2.5 no pants Nancy’s out of 5.

Who Is Patrick Magee?

I know films by Patrick Magee, who doesn’t. I mean he is a special effects wizard. When I went in search of interviews with Magee, I discovered the other reason that some directors make films a certain way. They want to do it their way. They want full autonomy. They’ve seen how it’s done from every angle so they want a turn in the big boy seat. Kudos for that. None of my talents would ever earn me a go at driving the ship. They also sometimes miss out on all the help and advice that big-budget films get. Patrick acknowledges he missed out on that.

I read that Patrick chose the cast without any specifics;

“The cast just fell into place. I knew the cast previously, for the most part.”

Quote from director Patrick Magee

Yowie Strengths, Weaknesses, and Abilities in Primal Rage

He teamed up with Jay Lee as a co-writer. His bio’s main picture has him standing with Jenna Jameson. The porn star. One of his films is Attack of the Vegan Zombies (2010.) Somehow this movie manages to have one of the two women cast, Ashley, (Casey Gagliardi) have no pants for almost the entire film. In the wilderness.

Why can I hear crickets?
