My first thought after viewing this film was "Wow. Did I really just watch a film about a mad scientist who turns a gorilla into a beautiful woman, or did someone slip an LSD tab into my drink?" This film which features an exploitation movie title, awful gorilla suit, and a goofy plot, is actually not as bad as it sounds. It takes its wildly far-fetched plot and turns it into a fairly believable little horror film. Unfortunately, its flaws outweigh its few good points. Ex: I think they were really cruel to the circus animals in the film. (Just watch it and you'll know what I mean.)I guess that just goes with the time. Also, for a one hour movie, it sure wastes a lot of time showing us pointless lion and tiger taming scenes. And what's with the random narrator at the end who says one thing to end the movie? I really wouldn't recommend this movie to younger audiences. They'd find it boring. Even I kinda did. However, if you want to see it anyway, you really gotta suspend your disbelief. Oh, and it helps if you either love or tolerate lengthy lion/tiger taming scenes.
