In this one this guy gets disabled and can no longer look after himself, as he cannot move anything from the neck down. A person is hired to look after him. His friend though decides to give him a monkey he is experimenting on to help his friend out. Unfortunately, this monkey begins to form some sort of link between itself and the disabled man and performs some of the man's dark thoughts. The monkey kills off the bird of the caretaker, as this bird actually attacks the man, the monkey also goes after his former lover and the guy she had an affair on. This guy is actually the one who performed the surgery on the guy. The caretaker moves out after her bird is killed, so the guys mom moves in to take care of her son and treat him like a child. You can really sympathize with the guy as his frustration mounts, as it seems people are discouraging him from ever moving again even though there is a slim possibility he can regain his former abilities. This movie also shows how, even though someone may be disabled and in need of assistance that they shouldn't be treated like a child. All in all an OK flick with a rather good ending.
