"Have you ever dealt with a monkey?" NaMa Productions has revealed an official trailer for a very strange, clever, entirely original new film from India titled Eeb Allay Ooo! If that title doesn't get your attention, then maybe the funky plot will? A young migrant battles hordes of monkeys in the heart of New Delhi as a contractual monkey repeller.

The story is quietly scary in the way it imagines an India in the future that has all but lost its battle with the coronavirus. Covid-...
