Odd little chiller about a mind-meld between a quadriplegic and the capuchin monkey trained to do his bidding. Some of his bidding, the part of it that comes from his id, includes anger against his nurse's parakeet, his ex-girlfriend, his doctor, his mother (for slapping him silly when he can't lift a finger to defend himself). George A. Romero's pacing is unhurried to the point of phlegmatic, and the "sustained" suspense of the final duel-to-the-death is repeatedly disrupted (not necessarily to its detriment) by sheer ridiculousness. Jason Beghe, John Pankow, Kate McNeil, Joyce Van Patten. (1988) — Duncan Shepherd
