Yet another Romero movie on the list. First off, look how creepy the poster for the movie is.
Monkeys with cymbals = Instant terror.
So, anyway, Monkey Shines is about about a collegiate athlete who becomes a paraplegic after having an unfriendly run in with a truck...or a bus...it wasn't the best of shots, so I'm not too sure what it was. Any who, he's frickin' miserable. Also, Stanley Tucci was his surgeon. Concurrently, Alan's (the protagonist) best friend is a researcher at the college...or a college. Whatever. Well, he's trying to make monkeys smart by injecting them with a serum made partially of human brains. I don't get his thought process either. After seemingly coming down with a case of retarditis, he has his most promising experiment get trained to become a helper monkey for his buddy. It's all well and good until Alan and Ella (the monkey...stay with me) become very close.
A little too close if you ask me...
So, Ella starts killing everybody. And I mean everybody. It's awesome.
Best Part:
A monkey carrying a straight razor and cutting some Esses. What could be better?
Except this.
