Monkey Shines - An Experiment in Fear

American horror directed by George A. Romero in which a wheelchair-bound man becomes the subject of a wicked experiment.

With Allan (Jason Beghe)'s fickle ex-girlfriend, over-bearing mother and mean-spirited nurse providing little comfort for him, he is relieved when the authorities provide him with Ella, a monkey trained to help him with every aspect of his daily life.

But unbeknownst to him, Ella is also part of another, more sinister experiment, and what began as a convenience becomes a living nightmare as she starts to anticipate his darkest thoughts and carry out gruesome acts of revenge.
