What critics compared Monkey Shines to
Films like Link and Monkey Shines…
Primate makes Monkey Shines look tame by comparison…
Harking back to Richard Franklin’s Link and George A. Romero’s Monkey Shines, the main menace is a murdering monkey.
Sure, we've had "Monkey Shines," "Link," and, of course, multiple non-horror films featuring "King Kong" (if you even count those), but a regular killer ape is surprisingly not a subject that many filmmakers have delved into.

Perhaps saving that conversation for a future installment when the rival company that's stolen the technology for M3GAN produces its own prototype, Gerard Johnstone's M3GAN ("Model 3 Generative Android," physically portrayed by Amie Donald but voiced by Jenna Davis) is less the full-on freakout one may expect from Akela Cooper of Malignant infamy than it is a by-the-numbers tweensploitation riff on Monkey Shines .
