Monkey Shines (VHS, Orion Home Video) George A. Romero Horror Thriller
Monkey Shines is a psychological horror thriller directed by legendary filmmaker George A. Romero, known for redefining modern zombie and survival horror. This unsettling story follows a former athlete who becomes paralyzed after an accident and begins relying on a specially trained helper monkey—only to discover their bond may be far more dangerous than expected.
As the connection between man and animal deepens, the film shifts into psychological terror, exploring dependence, isolation, and loss of control. Blending medical drama with escalating horror, Monkey Shines stands out as one of Romero’s most unique non-zombie films.
Released by Orion Pictures Home Video, this VHS edition is a solid collectible for fans of 80s–90s psychological horror and Romero’s broader filmography.
