Monkey Shines, a review by addicted2dvd

Monkey Shines
From writer/director George A. Romero, the man who unleashed 'Night of the Living Dead', comes a "terrific psychological thriller" ('L.A. Weekly') that delivers a disturbing message about messing with Mother Nature. Starring Jason Beghe ("Melrose Place") and Janine Turner ("Northern Exposure"), this riveting tale is "a white-knuckle triumph [that doesn't] let up" ('Newsweek')!

Allan Mann (Beghe) is a bitter, angry and vengeful man ever since an accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. He's fed up with himself and everyone around him. All that changes when he's given Ella, a monkey trained to meet his every need. But when Ella begins anticipating Allan's thoughts, strange and deadly things start happening. And as she stalks and wreaks havoc on Allan's fair-weather girlfriend (Turner), incompetent doctor and meddling mother, Allan realizes he must stop the cunning maniacal creature...before she fully takes over his mind!

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I bought cheap a year or so ago... but never got around to watching it. I really wasn't in that big of a hurry as I knew I saw it many years ago when first released on VHS. It has been so long that watching it today was like watching it again for the very first time. I thought it was a real good movie... what I would consider a mild horror from today's standards at least. It was a slower pace then most of the horror I watch... but that is not to say it was a slow movie... as I found the entire movie enjoyable and interesting. Glad I finally decided to watch it again. Unfortunately this DVD was basically a bare bones release... only extra on the disc was the Theatrical Trailer.

Rating: NR

Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78
Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1, English: Dolby Digital Stereo

Plot:
How do we Canadians say farewell to a dear friend? We tap a keg and wake up the next morning on a stranger's futon. The morning haze will be flooded with memories of Brent switching to self serve; Oscar, Emma and Lacey canoodling in the new hot tub; how Davis landed himself in sensitivity training by Karen's hand; and when Wanda and Hank found themselves 'celebrities' during the Turn Off Your TV Week competition against Wullerton (spit). And did you dream it, or did a mighty wind blow the sign right off the roof of The Ruby? Yes, maybe you should have stopped at nine, but for now, don't hold back. Chug! Chug! Chug! Cheers to six hilarious seasons of great Canuck-O-Vision. You'll never look at Sasketchewan the same way again - or that new friend's futon.

A good final season. Some really fun episodes in it. And a very fitting series finale. Like the series, life goes on as usual for the characters. I liked the fact, that they hinted here to come full circle, but didn't: Corner Gas is based on the stand-up by Brett Butt. In this episode, Brent Butt character found success as a stand-up (talking about daily life of our characters). But in the end he decided this isn't for him. If he had continued so, it probably would have led to a Corner Gas series inside the Corner Gas universe.
