Inspired by the true story of a legendary 25-foot man-eating crocodile comes the intense, terrifying horror movie PRIMEVAL, starring Dominic Purcell (TV's PRISON BREAK) and Orlando Jones (RUNAWAY JURY, EVOLUTION). An American news crew, determined to capture this voracious monster and stop his demonic rampage, travel deep within the darkest reaches of Africa to hunt their prey. But Gustave, as the natives call him, is also on the hunt — always on the move, always elusive, always hungry for human flesh. Heart-pounding fear is nonstop in this edge-of-your-seat nail-biter about the cunning killer who continues to blaze his blood-soaked trail of terror.

> Time travel, dinosaurs and the BBC logo will draw loads of sci-fi fans.
Blend the time travel from Doctor Who with the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park and the result is this latest import from the British sci-fi factory. Primeval, which originally aired on ITV in England in 2007, has made its way to BBC America and now a DVD release. When England is threatened by massive dinosaurs that arrive through holes in the time-space continuum, Professor Nick Cutter (Douglas Henshall) and a team of scientists are called to help. Cool CGI effects for the kids and real characters for the adults deliver something for the whole family to enjoy.
Shelf Talk: With Primeval’s comparisons to Doctor Who, growing online presence (including pages on MySpace and Facebook) and marketing at festivals such as this year’s Comic-Con, sci-fi fans will get on board with this title in no time. Feature it prominently next to Doctor Who and other dinosaur-laden titles.
