Monkey Shines

Athlete Allan becomes quadriplegic after a horrific traffic accident. His friend Geoffrey, who is conducting experiments with monkeys, offers Allan a well-trained monkey named Ella to keep him company and raise his spirits. But the initially healthy bond, which even enables Allan to form a romantic relationship with Melanie, gradually disintegrates once Ella begins to channel Allan's underlying rage and takes it out on his loved ones.
