Monkey Shines. 1988.

After a accident that left him quadriplegic, Allan has been given a small monkey as a helper, until it starts to behave peculiar and what Allan feels or thinks, his new helper acts out his aggression.

For me, this is one of Romero's underrated film, if you are looking for a film with blood and gore, people's insides on the outside this isn't that type of film, it's more of a viewing of a journey of a man who is recovering from a near fatal accident and is given a test subject animal that embarks on a murderous crusade. Romero gathers up a small band of actors who give out a brilliant performance from start to finish with a lot of tense moments. this is one i would happy re-watch again with the Mrs.
