Monkey Shines - jimbow8 - 07-11-2005
Alan is an athletic man until a car accident leaves him a quadriplegic. His friend Geoffrey gets him a Helping Hands capuchin monkey named Ella to assist him. What Geoffrey doesn't tell him is that the monkey has been chemically experimented with. Soon Ella becomes a little too attached and possessive.
This is a George A Romero movie that I saw a long time ago and remember being pretty scared by it. It still does a pretty effective job at that. While the main actor, Jason Beghe, seems a little stiff (no pun intended) at times, the story more than makes up for it. It is amazing to watch the emotion and understanding that the monkey can convey through his expressions and movement. I highly recommend this movie if you are looking for a different type of horror movie.

I remember that movie. I really liked it. It was an original storyline that put you on edge. I would also recommend it!

Most scary Romero's movie is Dark Half. Original is Stephen King. This movie is bad for cardiac. Sometimes, I felt cardiac stop. :eek:
But I'm still alive.

George Stark. Remember that name from Dark Half. Then there is Secret Window, also by King. Same idea, different details.
