This British horror film follows a young American student who goes to work as a housekeeper/assistant at the isolated house of a zooologist (Terence Stamp ) and his semi-domesticated chimpanzees ( though the titular character is clearly an orang-utan but of course he doesn't have the control over them that he imagines. The film is over-long for its relatively simple premise but the scenery's lovely and unsurprisingly the apes steal the show.
Elisabeth Shue ( as Jane )
Sex : Link watches Jane strip for a bath
Death : Survives
This was Elisabeth's third film role and her first as lead though she'd clearly not heard the old adage of never working with children or animals. She was born in Wilmington and first appeared in commercials. Despite some high profile "girlfriend" roles, she did not attract much attention until her Oscar-nominated role in Leaving Las Vegas in 1995. Her career has been steady ever since, juggled with raising three children by husband Davis Guggenheim.
