Is this the movie?


Where the creature tore a man's head off and ate it? I remember seeing that as a child. It always stuck with me because after the creature ate, it started to smile.

I've been trying to find out what movie that was for years now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

reply

No. Wrong film.

there is another crazed monkey movie called "shakma" - maybe it's that one?

reply

No. Thank you though. I'm pretty sure the movie I'm thinking of is a early 80's movie. I was pretty young when I saw it.

I appreciate the help.

reply

You're not thinking "Monkey Shines," are you? The monkey attacks people, but I don't remember him eating someone's head. It's from 1988:

No it wasn't Monkey Shines, I have that one. It was a really large creature that was in the movie. Thank you for your help.

Hmmmm ... It's a longshot, but it wouldn't be "The Boogens" from 1981, would it? They're giant, turtle-like monsters that live in an old silver mine:

No, I've seen The Boogens several times. Thank you though.

This might be totally out of left field..... but was it possibly Creepshow (with the big white arctic ape) or hugmongous?????

reply

It wasn't Creepshow. I don't remember hugmongous. I actually saw this from a show about horror movies when I was little, but I can't remember the title of the movie.

reply

That movie sounds good! I'd like to know the name of it too now.
