Note : I have a soft spot for killer animal movies, although this one tests even my patience a bit. The dialogue and acting aren't really very good, and although the gore is decent, there's too long between each suspenseful scene to keep the pace up. I do like the nihilistic style and downer ending, though, Roddy McDowall is always fun, and baboons are honestly terrifying, so, here you go.
A baboon named Shakma is owned by medical student Sam, but for some reason is also used for animal testing at the medical school. Professor Sorensen injects Shakma with a serum designed to inhibit aggression, but since this is one of the very dumb medical schools, it does the exact opposite, and Sorensen tells Sam to euthanize Shakma. However, he can't bring himself to do it, and Shakma is left unconscious. That night, the students are going to play a live-action roleplaying game in the medical school, led by the professor Sorenson (remember, this is a dumb medical school), but when they're locked in and getting started, Shakma wakes up and starts picking them off one by one, until Sam has to face down his former pet.
This is really not a great remaster, looking like a grainy, fuzzy telecine transfer with considerable splice warp, but it works. Sound is ok, commentary track is fine. This is about as basic as a BluRay release can get, but if you want the killer baboon, you have to eat your telecine noise.

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “ hevk creature horror” for more animals and other weird beings going on the prowl, “ hevk slasher” for more teens being picked off one by one, or “ hevk 90s” for more of, well, genre that doesn't know what to do with itself, maybe?
