Blood Monkey is a terrifying thriller that follows six American grad students stranded in a jungle and left as prey to a remote tribe of killer chimpanzees. When Dani, Amy, Greg, Sydney, Josh, and Seth arrive in Africa to study apes, they are quickly assured by renowned Professor Hamilton (F. Murray Abraham) that this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to witness a new species. But what begins as an historic revelation about animal instinct soon becomes an experiment in human nature when the wilds of Africa turn positively vicious. (official distributor synopsis)

Ouch! This was painful. An hour and a half of several dumb students, one scientist and a badass Asian woman running around in a forest, while their numbers decrease in an uninteresting fashion due to some funny digital apes. If you haven’t seen this film’s flock of flies, you are missing something. Had the creators meant this as a comedy, I would give it one star for the scene where the monkeys piss on the tents and our heroes believe it’s raining (it was incredible :D). Otherwise, clear Boo!

Blood Monkey is a film that you won't regret if you never see it. It's just a bad B-movie that won't show you anything really interesting, but on the other hand, it's proof that sometimes a film is made at any cost, even at the lowest possible one. If only they had at least made some interesting use of the Thai jungle, but apart from a couple of shots where it could have been quite scary, the film isn't worth it in that respect either.
