Super Scary Simians Debut in 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Spot

Viewers glued to their TV's for Sunday night's "Walking Dead" finale got an extra treat when a first look at those evil simians in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" aired.

The 30-second spot offered proof that these super scary primates are a far cry from the almost humanoid-looking apes that Charlton Heston battled in the 1968 original.

The dominant race is comprised of true-to-life-looking chimps, gorillas, and orangutans who appear to have inhabited a very dilapidated (post apocalyptic?) San Francisco.

They ride horses, put war paint on their face, and they have… semi automatic weapons. Yup, they're fierce.

One thing is for sure, with their ring leader voiced by Gollum himself (Andy Serkis), the highly evolved head simian Ceasar is sure to be creepy as heck.

But we'll have to wait to get a glimpse at his voice as this teaser raises more questions than answers. We also don't get to see (yet) the humans who are set to rise up against these nasty apes.

With a cast that includes Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Judy Greer, and Jason Clarke, something chilling  must be in store.

"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" storms theaters on July 11.
