Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A film that begins in sentimentality and ends in ludicrous melodrama.
Rotten: A befuddled story about a man constrained from the neck down told by a director confused from the neck up.
Fresh: There was a time when Romero would have used these elements for pure shock effect, but the horrors in Monkey Shines are more internalized, which make them all the more scary.
Fresh: One of George Romero's most effective and interesting horror thrillers.
