Monkey Boy Movie Review

Decent sci-fi horror from Britain, about a cunning human-ape hybrid that escapes from a genetics lab after massacring the staff. Not excessively gruesome or vulgar, and some sympathy is aroused for the killer mutant. A condensation of a TV miniseries; original author Stephen Gallagher adaptd and sharpened his own novel Chimera.
