Monkeyshines is a series of experimental short silent films made to test the original cylinder format of the Kinetoscope, and are believed to be the first films shot in the United States. Monkeyshines, No. 1 was shot by William K. L. Dickson and William Heise for the Edison labs. Scholars have differing opinions on whether the first was shot in June 1889 starring Fred Ott or at some time between November 21–27, 1890 starring Giuseppe Sacco Albanese. Both men were fellow lab workers at the company; contradictory evidence exists for each claim. Monkeyshines, No. 2 and Monkeyshines, No. 3 quickly followed to test further conditions.

Monkeyshines Review


#1 Review By Little White Lies

Ratings: 8/10
Review By: Anton Bitel

before its disappointing dénouement, Monkey Shines is a very tense thriller concerned precisely with one man's struggle to tame his older, wilder instincts.

#2 Review By TimeOut

Ratings: 9/10
Review By: Derek Adams

Romero's is a formidable talent which others can only hope to ape.

#3 Review By Lessons of Darkness

Ratings: 9/10
Review By: Nick Schager

Staging a fight between a grouchy quadriplegic and a murderous monkey isn’t, in theory, a bad idea. George A. Romero’s Monkey Shines, however, is so clumsy that its climactic fight between wheelchair-bound Allan (Jason Beghe) and helper monkey Ella is simply its last instance of slipping on the proverbial cinematic banana peel.

#4 Review By Washington Post

Review By: Richard Harrington

Just how thin is that dividing line between civilized behavior and raw instinct? That question is at the heart of "Monkey Shines: An Experiment in Fear," the new film from George Romero. While Romero's past films have for the most part been experiments in horror, "Monkey Shines" moves in another direction -- the psychological thriller, with a difference. It's not just "a man and a woman" story; it's a man-woman-monkey triangle, and how the sparks do fly.

# 5 Review By Chicago Sun-Times

Ratings: 8.4/10
Review By: Roger Ebert

At first the story seems matter-of-fact. Allan (Jason Beghe) undergoes rehabilitation therapy and returns home with one of those wheelchairs that can be controlled by breathing into a tube. Not much goes right. His girlfriend jilts him and goes to live with his insufferably pompous surgeon. He is doted on by a smothering mother.
