SHAKMA (1990)

 I love movies with monkeys! Mad, psychopathic monkeys running wild is even better! This here is the story of a cute little baboon named Shakma who gets his brain experimented on by Roddy McDowall and then becomes a hyperactive, neck-chomping machine. The story takes place in a building where a bunch of dorks are playing some kinda real-life Dungeons & Dragons game. One of these dorks is Christopher Atkins from THE BLUE LAGOON. If there's any group of people more worthy of having their faces and throats ripped out by primates than gaming nerds I can't imagine who they could be. The only bad thing about this film is that it was released in 1990 and by that time writing halfway believable dialogue that wasn't jokey and cringe-inducing was unheard of. The acting is also pretty horrible but that's kinda expected. If you dig mad, red-assed monkeys check it out though. AKA PANIC IN THE TOWER and NEMESIS
