Review of Link

Link (1986)
7/10
real world scary
24 March 2024
Dr. Steven Phillip (Terence Stamp) is a professor at London College of Sciences and he trains chimpanzees. He takes on student Jane Chase (Elisabeth Shue) as his new assistant. She arrives at his remote estate where he has three chimps at various stages of training. Link is the oldest and the smartest.

The nude scene is the most disturbing cross-species scene since Howard the Duck. Quite frankly, I was afraid for these actors throughout the movie for real. Elisabeth Shue should definitely call in HR for some of these scenes. That kind of real world fears can actually heighten the horror tension of the movie. This has plenty of horror tension. Despite being an orangutan, Link still looks really scary. With Shue dealing with Link, the tension never goes away.
