Monkey Shines Review

Monkey Shines came out in 1988 and was directed by the ever-stumpy George A. Romero. We have used science (and possibly the box cover) to determine that this movie fits perfectly into the "Monkey Horror" genre.

During the time we had our polls open, 218 flamboyant viewers just like you weighed in on Monkey Shines. 127 of 'em thought it was great! 91 thought it was shit. Takes all kinds.

This is a Dave and Jim's B-Movie Review. This review was written some time between 1996 and 2001. Once you've sucked the marrow from this one, you can head back to the full list to pick another review for savoring. Do it again and again.

Dave's Review

Very interesting. Very origional. I think with just a few wee changes, it could even have been great.

Jim's Review

Romero has created yet another fine film. It was enjoyable and a lot of it was unpredictable.
