Title: UNSETTLING UK HORROR
Review: Not widely known, this nifty 1986 British horror film stars a young Elisabeth Shue (was this her first film?) and mature Terence Stamp. "Link" is brilliant orangutan who attacks his masters when they try to put him down. Although the title creature is clearly an orangutan, he is referred to as a chimp. It looks like his naturally reddish fur has been dyed dark brown or black.The one scene I recall most vividly is when Shue's character is undressed and about to take a bath, Link opens the bathroom door, enters, and looks at her naked body longingly as she freezes, about to step into the tub.Shot on location in Scotland, the emotive score is by Jerry Goldsmith. The taught direction is by the late Richard Franklin.
