Exclusive: ‘Primitive War’ Director’s Early Film ‘Devil Beneath’ to Screen at 2025 G-FEST Film Festival

Special Thanks to Avery Guerra, Jeff Horne, and G-FEST

You may have seen the intense buzz going around KU and adjacent circles regarding Primitive War, an upcoming dinosaur action/horror film based on the novel by Ethan Pettus and directed by Luke Sparke. Before Sparke ever began development of Primitive War, his first major film was a fun creature feature romp about a familiar Australian cryptid… The Bunyip! This film was Devil Beneath, and we’re thrilled to announce that it will be screened as part of the 2025 G-FEST Film Festival!
