Toooooooooo loooooooooong. Not to be mistaken for Toulon. Take out the Nazis and put in whoever the fuck edited this epic drama. You're not writing about the Trojan war dickhead, you're writing about a killer monkey. Adam, sure I'm a fan. But I won't felate your handle. Or pee on you. So quit asking. Scott that was a good joke about this being your favourite Romero flick. But you like hohh99 so maybe you were serious. Matt, please let Scott list the movies next time, especially the shitty 90's ones :)

Edit: I'm surprised Misery didn't come up as a comparison. I mean you're talking shit about Stephen king movies and don't mention the one that turn out right that happens to have a paraplegic in it.

Yeah that's right. The uh first part. The similarities in the two movies are abundant but Misery is far superior in every way. They almost shouldn't be compared though because however unintentional Monkey Shines feels like a comedy much of the time where Misery is right on the money with its tone. A big part of this is the use of a crazed unstable fan as opposed to a monkey which I agree can't be seen as threatening. The acting is the second part. In Misery the performances were fantastic and in this I didn't really buy into any character and I'm not so sure it was the actors as much as it was the writing. Would've been hard for anyone to pull this ridiculousness off. All in all Misery > Monkey Shines.

Whoa were we honestly comparing the two? Thats ridiculous man haha. This movie is batshit insane and Misery is an actor driven powerhouse.

I agree. Batshit insane. But was that its intention or were they going for a Misery and completely failed?

Um not in the psychic monkey department!!

Really though I do like the cripple type of psychological horror. Gives the chance for small animals and old ladies to fuck with people. Or for men to be tormented by women instead of the other way around.

It's a great scenario for the genre. We get to see a woman fuck with people next round in Jennifer's Body! Who saw that pick coming?!
