784 Shakma ( 1990 )

 It's  back  to  monkey  madness with  this  horribly contrived  nonsense about a group of medical students who  trap themselves in a hospital with a berserk baboon due  to an escape room -type game organised by  their professor ( Roddy McDowall) who's clearly got nothing better to  do on a Friday evening. McDowall keeps the early  part  of  the  film  afloat  but  once he's despatched, it's  a  grinding  suspense-free bore  as the ape  kills  off  each dislikeable character in identical fashion. 

Amanda Wyss ( as Tracy )

Sex : No

Death : Mauled to death by Shakma


Amanda plays the lead girl here but she's a  pretty  disagreeable character.

Ari Myers ( as Kim )

Sex : No

Death : Mauled to death by Shakma


Ari was  born to Jewish-American parents and became a child actress and model. She made her film debut at 12 in  Author Author but  mainly  worked in TV . By  the  2000s she  was doing voice  acting and  audio books  but  she  eventually  left  acting  for  nursing.

Ann Kymberlie ( as Laura )

Sex : No

Death : Survives


This  is  the  only  film in  Ann's  very brief career.

Donna  Jarrett ( as Brenda )

Sex : No

Death : Survives


This was the first of just two screen appearances for  Donna.
