Primeval was released in theaters so it's more serious than a Syfy animal movie. They try to have a relevant background story as well with the events happening at the time in Africa. A plus is that I've always found Africa kind of untapped for horror movies. It always comes off to me as an undiscovered and hazardous country with the jungles and various animals roaming about. I'm sure a lot of scary bugs and spiders are there. Someone could make a good movie like Arachnophobia but just starting in Africa.
Anyway, I liked this one. The cast is fine. And the large crocodile and the way it goes about it's business is crazy. There are a few really good shots of it chasing down people.

You might want to check out My Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Amos Tutuola. Its about a boy fleeing from becoming forced into being a child soldier and then the ghosts he meets in the bush. It uses a lot of various African myths about ghosts. Not sure if its general Africa or specifically where he's from.
