Samuel Goldwyn Films will release Primitive War on VOD platforms October 3, following a limited U.S. theatrical run in August that saw sold-out screenings and strong audience response.

Directed by Luke Sparke (Occupation), the dinosaur Vietnam War thriller stars Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Nick Wechsler (The Boys), and Jeremy Piven (Entourage). Based on Ethan Pettus’ novel, the film follows a special forces unit sent on a search-and-rescue mission in 1968 Vietnam, only to discover a hidden valley crawling with prehistoric predators.

The project drew attention earlier this year at San Diego Comic-Con, where Sparke and the cast appeared in Ballroom 20 to preview footage for fans, a rare showcase for an independent production.

“Primitive War grossed over a million dollars in its limited U.S. release with a 90% audience Popcornmeter and positive reactions across social media,” SGF president Peter Goldwyn said in announcing the VOD rollout.

Primitive War will be available digitally across North America starting October 3.
