TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 3 Blue Monkey is a confusing and largely ineffective horror film. The story follows an old man who, after a minor injury from a plant, becomes host to a parasite that emerges from his mouth as a larva and eventually grows into a giant insect, though the title "Blue Monkey" feels entirely misleading. The screenplay is poorly written, with disjointed scenes and little tension, leaving the plot confusing and unengaging. Acting is weak across the board, including from a notable actor of the time, likely hampered by the lackluster material. Direction offers no cohesion or suspense, resulting in uneven pacing and tone. Despite its premise, the film fails to deliver genuine horror, thrills, or entertainment. Confusing, poorly executed, and ultimately forgettable, Blue Monkey is a film that cannot be recommended. See more Carlos I 07/20/2023 Super fun, campy giant insect throwback. Is goopy, it's funny and it moves quick, with great effects. This is perfect midnight movie fare. See more Gary D 04/05/2023 Can't really blame the actors for their effort, or lack there of, because the script is quite awful. Shame it could of been much better with a decent storyline. See more 10/26/2016 no mico azul, un insecto gigante como una mantis, en un hospital. See more 10/29/2014 Don't let the fact that there is no monkey in this movie prevent you from seeing it. It's pretty good. See more 10/27/2012 A fast growing and reproducing parasite puts a hospital under quarantine and forces those trapped in it to destroy the organisms. Several veteran Canadian actors involved here and Joe Flaherty and Robin Duke are along for comic relief. Mediocre. See more Read all reviews
