Directed by Hugh Parks and Tom Logan, U.S.A. Possibly one of the most stupid horrors of the early nineties. A group of medical students plan to spend a night playing a dumb role-playing game, but are interrupted by the arrival into their midst of a red-bummed killer baboon called Shakma. Dullness ensues. The script quickly becomes thuddingly repetitive on an almost comedic level; let’s just say that a lot (and I really mean, a lot) of doors get opened and closed in this movie. Meanwhile, the insultingly pea-brained characters behave as though they all actively want to die at the hands of the monkey. At one stage, a character drops marbles out of a window to catch someone’s attention (I’m not making that up.) 1/5.
