As Kong continues to terrorise us in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, we rate some chilling chimps
Despite the English title, there’s only one “ape” in this cheesy slice of Mexploitation, once labelled a video nasty. A mad doctor transplants the heart of a gorilla into his dying son; the youth turns into a homicidal simian creep who sexually assaults women. Also features a lady luchador., gives it her all in her final film role: as an anthropologist studying a troglodyte, played by an actor in a leftover ape suit from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Inevitably, the creature goes on a killing spree.
The trilogy enters Shakespearean territory in Matt Reeves’ epic blockbuster, as Caesar struggles to consolidate his leadership in the face of last-stand humanity led by Woody Harrelson. Not just a war movie, but a nuanced character study in which it’s hard not to side with the killer apes.No modern ape blockbuster can reproduce the swampy subconscious jungles and mythological heft of Merian C Cooper and Ernest B Schoedsack’s classic.
