🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Ho Meng Hua stitches together a bizarre genre collage, where Hong Kong's urban sprawl becomes a battleground for primal terror and human greed. The tone wavers between cheap thrills and a genuine, if clumsy, awe for its monstrous creation.
This is for devotees of 70s Asian cinema who can forgive dated effects for the film's relentless, pulpy energy. Viewers will feel a peculiar nostalgia for an era when an ape could be both a god and a circus act. — MovieFinder Editorial
