Review of Blue Monkey (1987) by Trent R — 27 Sep 2008
Blue Monkey is a fun little monster movie about a handyman who gets pricked by a plant in his lady friend's greenhouse. Soon, he keels over and spews out a giant worm while in the hospital. After that, they contain the worm, open it up and reveal a small new species of bug.
Well, like any other horror movie to get started, some rascally cancer kids feed the bug growth hormones and it gets huge and starts tearing people's asses apart in the hospital, which has conveniently been quarantined because of the old man's potential spread of a virus.
It's up to Steve Railsback (playing a cop), the doctor he is hot on, and an entomologist to stop this bug before it can breed a whole army of super bugs! This is clearly monster/B-movie entertainment that is a lot of fun to watch.
Dean Wormer (from Animal House) shows up again, but his role is pretty much wasted. Overall, though, good movie.
