Somebody should make a monkey horror movie based on the chimps that African Dictator ( I think it was eedee amin ) had trained to wield machetes & attack people , Scientists actually did come across the descendants of their troupe & they were still using those rusty machetes. Oh yeah, this counts as me coming up w/the original concept in case somebody does do the movie. Contact me as I'll sell the rights @ a very reasonable price along w/the plot notes/script & concept art/story boards I allready worked on. As I'm still tryin to do it as a graphic novel 1st but I got no probs w/doing the movie w/out it. - @Sunday, July 8, 2018 9:57 PM

This and "Creepshow" are the only movies by George A. Romero that I've seen. I actually think "Monkey Shines" here was pretty well done & pretty scary, especially at the end in the surgery scene where the monkey bursts out of the guy's back! Dang! That was some scary stuff! - @Friday, July 12, 2013 2:38 AM

Yeah I dont blame you. Chimps can be extremely strong when riled up. Thats not the first time a chimp has caused serious damage to a human. - @Saturday, December 22, 2012 5:34 AM
