Being so closely related on the evolutionary scale, man has always been fascinated with primates and love putting them in films. They can be shown as cute or silly in roles played for humor (Right turn, Clyde), sent into space, spread diseases, or evolve beyond man into a dominate human species. They present a mystery to us, a link to what we may have been in the past and unknown potential of what they may be capable of. It is this mystery that can provide grounds for horror. Jerry & Matt look at two diverse examples of primates in horror with the iconic and transcendent King Kong, from 1933 and bio-engineered Ella in George Romero's Monkey Shines, from 1988.
