Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
GazerRise Fantastic!
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
axelkreis85 My Girlfriend bought this movie for 1 Euro and mean everybody must have a ridiculous Horror-Movie in his DVD collection. She didn't knew what she was buying. Lets start with the actors: Mr. Abrahams well known for great movies like Amadeus shows us in this movie that he is no longer an actor with attitude! But he is the only one who makes this movie a little bit better. But the script is so bad that no one can have done it better! The rest of the actors are not well-known and thats better this way.about the movie: Monster-apes: You nearly don't see any apes in the entire movie, only in the last few seconds of the film and when you see the CGI ape you know why.Gore: Not much but a lot of gore didn't saved the movie from being garbage.Story: completely ridiculous! A Professor who starts a knowingly dangerous trip with students to search monster apes. Enough said. The movie is crap and the story is a punch in the face. you cannot even laugh about this.P.S. If you really looking forward to see this movie take a look at the scene where the apes urinate on the tents of the students to mark their victims. This looks like a fire department mission!
TheLittleSongbird To be honest I wasn't expecting much from the production values or the story, but was expecting an actor of F Murray Abraham's calibre to maintain some interest. And actually, while the character and writing is beneath him( we are here talking about someone who in Amadeus gave one of the finest male performances I have seen on film), Abraham is by far the best thing about Blood Monkey, he does deserve credit for bringing some dignity to his performance. The other actors don't match him however, pretty-looking of course but they don't do anything beyond that, even being genuinely concerned about what was happening. They are not helped by their characters, which are not just stereotypical but made to do annoying things that you don't care for them one bit. The dialogue is very cheesy, while the story is increasingly dull and repetitive. The gore is minimal and pretty fake in look with the scenes they feature in unscary and suspense-less, while the effects are terrible and further cheapened by some of the most unfocused camera work and editing of any movies of this genre. Overall, other than Abraham Blood Monkey was an ugly, repetitive, annoying and very un-atmospheric mess. 2/10 Bethany Cox
whut-1 As an insomniac I tend to be awake late at night. Oftentimes this is simply a thorn in my side, but on certain occasions it's a blessing in disguise. One such occasion was the other night when, overcome by an inability to sleep, I turned on the television and stumbled across the film BloodMonkey. The opening, I will admit, made me skeptical as to what the quality of the film would be, but once the film started, I was hooked. Granted, at times the film is campy, but it's held together by strong dialogue and performances that truly develop the characters. The actors are all young, yet they nail the accents they put on; I was convinced that Seth was actually either Scottish or Spanish until I checked out his IMDb page! Not only are the performances well played, but the film-making itself is quite good. The suspense is truly tangible. After about and hour and fifteen minutes of nothing happening, I was on my seat waiting for the next development. As a man with some connections, I was able to get a hold of the script. I was blown away by what the filmmakers did with it! It truly is amazing to think about...
Richard Hawes F. Murray Abraham pays the rent by lending his Oscar winning credibility to this routine creature feature. As a mad scientist type he joins an obligatory ensemble of bickering students as they wander around a forest in Thailand until its time for the creature to turn up. Its all very by-the-numbers and elderly film and TV veteran Robert Young keeps the quality reasonably high considering the limitations. Fans of the genre (a mainstay of the Sci-Fi Channel) will know what to expect, though this is of higher quality than many similar productions, but thats not saying much when a film displays not a single novel trait.
