Blue Monkey

1987 · 96 min

A gooey, gleefully silly creature feature that traps you in a hospital with rubbery bugs and exploding chests.

Tagline: THEY BREED. THEY HATCH. THEY KILL. Maybe it's just a phase they're going through.
Overview: A man pricks his finger while tending to an exotic plant and is rushed to the ER, where he is diagnosed with a bacterial infection before a worm-like parasite emerges from his mouth. As the infection spreads throughout the ER, the parasite is exposed to a genetic growth stimulant, which causes it grow to monstrous proportions and terrorize the hospital.
How it feels: Campy, eerie, absurd and tense. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, isolation, science, death
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
