Eureka Entertainment in the UK are to release the George A Romero horror movie Monkey Shines on Blu Ray in October.
Allan Mann (Jason Beghe) is a bitter, angry and vengeful man ever since an accident left him paralysed 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 realises he must stop the cunning maniacal creature… before she fully takes over his mind!
