Critic Reviews of "Monkey Shines"
VarietyNovember 26, 2007A befuddled story about a man constrained from the neck down told by a director confused from the neck up.
Chicago ReaderNovember 26, 2007One of George Romero's most effective and interesting horror thrillers.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004A film that begins in sentimentality and ends in ludicrous melodrama.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000Somewhere within this movie's two hours or so is hidden an absolutely spellbinding 90-minute thriller.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000There 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.
Film Freak CentralJuly 11, 2016a lot of awful performances in the service of a lousy script.
Creative LoafingNovember 25, 2014One of Romero's best non-zombie flicks, this intelligent, absorbing watch includes early roles for Stanley Tucci and Stephen Root.
TheBluFile.comNovember 17, 2014Features a compelling plot and some stylish individual moments of tension during the thunderous climax, but its energy is sapped and forward momentum severely lacking. One patiently waits for it to take off, and it never fully does.
Reel Film ReviewsDecember 31, 2013By the time the hilarious yet memorable Carrie-esque final shocker rolls around, Monkey Shines has established itself as a passable horror effort...
CinePassionMarch 13, 2010A brilliant realization of a mind awakening to its animal instincts, expressed in satirical Hitchcockisms
Combustible CelluloidJune 12, 2008This intelligent, effective thriller is one of [Romero's] best films.
