Young graduate student Jane Chase becomes the new assistant to an eccentric zoology professor at the remote home he shares with two brilliant chimpanzees and an elderly orangutan butler named Link. But when one of the chimps is found dead and the professor mysteriously disappears, Link becomes dangerously aggressive towards Jane. Now, the time for “monkey business” is over and the true terror is about to begin.

If a weird professor asked me to go and live with him (sorry actually to clean for him) in his remote castle (or whatever this was) together with his three animal companions (two chimpanzees and one orangutan to be precise), I would have politely declined...but that's just me...😐🙃

*4 stars because how did they actually manage to film this? Some scenes with the animals blew me away!
