Talk:Monkey Shines (film)

POV Judging the Ella & Alan's motivation as intrinsically good, bad, right or wrong is ipso facto POV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.110.122.33 (talk) 06:57, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Plot Summary Missing Information

I was watching this film tonight (IFC channel!) while reading a book at the same time (hello, information overload!), and because I was reading I was distracted from a critical plot point. So I checked here to get some clarification after the film ended and found that the whole plot twist and the crucial first murders are not even mentioned. Since I cannot remember specifics, and I cannot be sure if the person killed was a doctor or someone else, I cannot in good faith edit the plot summary. Needless to say, this is what is missing:

After Ella kills the bird and the nurse leaves, Alan finds out about something the doctor, I think, did wrong. Was it that he botched the surgery? That's the info I missed. This is when Alan's rage really starts to go out of control. It is also the first time that Ella acts out this rage in a way that results in killing a person, in this case two people. She lights a match under the bed of two people having sex, I'm presuming that this was the doctor and "Linda". Well, that whole episode and crucial plot point is missing from the plot summary. As you can see—whoever is reading this—I can't provide an adequate description. Hopefully this gets noticed soon and the summary gets updated with the omitted information.

A Cult Classic?

Although a few sites describe this film as a "cult classic", I think it is too obscure to qualify. It is not shown in theaters anymore, even ones specializing in showing campy older movies, and it's DVD sales are weaker than the many independent films that George Romero produced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.155.218.100 (talk) 13:47, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

First studio film?

I don't know how Monkey Shines can be Romero's first studio film considering that Creepshow, released in 1982, was made by Warner Bros., which is a studio much more major than Orion Pictures. Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 04:03, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
