Allan Mann (Jason Beghe) is a bitter, angry and vengeful man ever since an accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. He's fed up with himself and everyone around him. 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! (Eureka Entertainment)

Monkey Shines is a film in which George A. Romero demonstrated that he can handle other themes besides zombies. He showcased his storytelling ability even on a subject that may seem relatively simple. It’s not exactly trivial, but you can imagine how it will turn out. Thanks to well-acted characters, a great monkey in the lead role, and precise direction, the film will entertain you, even though it may seem too long at first.
