Rish Outfield's reviews
This title ... I shudder every time I hear it. In a Worst Movie Titles Ever list, this would place one rung below Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. But in the context of the film ... it still sucks. This 'film' was dull, slow-moving, plodding, irritatingly high on pointless subplots, silly, stupid, pick your adjective. The kids got on my nerves like crazy. I slept through half of it, and wanted to sleep through the rest. This was one of the only Canadian horror films we've reviewed (we've stayed away from Cronenberg so far), so maybe I just didn't get it. Nahh, that's not it. The damn bug doesn't show its face until the last half-hour, and it is okay-looking. A definite case of too little, too late. Hey, I liked Lifeforce as much as anybody, but Steve Railsbeck should never work again. A BAD movie.
Best Scare: Something with the bug . . . maybe.
I'd Recommend It To: Only those who don't hate the title. All one of you.

The tyranist's thoughts
This is really just a typical big bug caused by man screwing up again movie. It has a lot of inherent problems that come along with the subgenre, and it never really manages to correct any of them. We never see the bug clear enough to get to "Ooh" and "Aah" at it. The characters are pretty typical (including some asinine comic relief). All in all, this movie was pretty poor. There was just a whole lot of really forgettable stuff. I have seen much better movies in this subgenre and the only thing that really recommends this one is the title. We picked it up knowing that it would have two skulls right there.
Made in Canada, this movie either misses American humor or just doesn't even try. As for the horror elements, I have seen much better sequences of similar mood and intent in Aliens. My last complaint probably is the title. Blue Monkey. When you find out why it is called that you may hate yourself for having picked it up. And just because there are nurses on the cover does not mean that there is nudity inside.
