A discussion of the release of “Primeval” on DVD, including an interview with director Michael Katleman.
BY KEVIN CARR
Over the past few years, horror movies have not been systematically cordoned off into the Halloween season. With “Black Christmas” and “Wolf Creek” opening on the past two Christmas Days, it seems that no release date is off limit for scary movies.
