The Sheer Horror!! - Very pleasantly surprised with this George Romero flick never seen. You can read real reviews below cause this ain't no editorial type blog, ya dig? I really dug it, maybe could have used a little trimming 10-15 mins but otherwise a great one. I'm going Three Solid Pinewoods on this one...The Horror!!
Monkey Shines: An Experiment In Fear Movie Review (1988) | Roger Ebert
Monkey Shines" opens with a textbook illustration of the Perfect Day Theory, which teaches that when a movie opens with a glorious depiction of a perfect day in the life of the hero, the joy is always a prelude to tragedy. In this case, Allan, the hero, goes jogging, is struck by a truck and awakens as a quadriplegic.
Monkey Shines (1988) Review
Based on the novel by Michael Stewart and filmed on location in Romero's beloved Pittsburgh, Monkey Shines is a decent little thriller for a cold night in on the couch. Quick warning though: the film features caged animal experimentation (though we're not talking documentary here, of course no animals were harmed during the production).
