Monkey Shines. A former athlete struggles to adjust to his new life after an accident leaves him paraplegic. To help regain some autonomy and independence, he is given a "helper monkey" specially trained to assist the disabled. But Ella is no ordinary monkey. Sometimes she seems almost human. Sometimes, just sometimes, she almost seems like she can read his thoughts. And act on them... This late 80s horror thriller from zombie guru George Romero is a seriously odd film, but an oddly compelling one too.
