From writer / director George A.

All that changes when he's given Ella, a monkey trained to meet his every need. But when Ella begins anticipating Allan's thoughts, strange and deadly things start happening. And as she stalks and wreaks havoc on Allan's fair-weather girlfriend (Janine Turner), incompetent doctor and meddling mother, Allan realizes he must stop the cunning maniacal creature... before she fully takes over his mind!Kate McNeil, Joyce Van Patten, Stephen Root, John Pankow, and Stanley Tucci also star in this riveting thriller from the godfather of modern horror George A.

Probably Romero's last classic
George A. Romero is best known for his zombie films but did a great job with this suspenseful thriller. Decent extras are what made me upgrade from DVD, can't fault this edition.

Not great
Incredible to think that I preferred Link, another mad monkey film, to this. The premise here is much more interesting however the delivery is plodding and any sense of fun is entirely sapped out of what could have been a rollicking good time. Hardly a shining example of nefarious monkey business.

Classic Romero
As another reviewer commented, this one of the last classic Romero films from his prime days of film making. Great movie and thr bonus features on this are outstanding.

DVD is Region 2
I was disappointed that the DVD Disc in this set is Region#2, so it won’t play in North America!
