Monkey Shines (1988)
A quadriplegic man receives assistance from a specially trained monkey to navigate daily life. Initially a source of companionship, the primate soon exhibits an unsettling attachment, leading to intense emotions and violent tendencies. As it grows increasingly protective of its owner, the monkey’s behavior turns sinister, targeting anyone perceived as a threat. The once-helpful creature transforms into a dangerous force, blurring the line between aid and obsession, forcing the man to confront not only his physical limitations but also the dark implications of reliance on an animal with a mind of its own.
