Terence Stamp plays a primatology professor who lives on an isolated estate in rural England with two chimps and an orangutan. When he hires a young female student as a research assistant, the orangutan goes nuts and starts killing people. It's your standard "trapped in the house with a serial killer" plot, with the twist that the killer is a large enraged ape. Some tasty violence, though a lot of the tension is undercut by the inherent silliness of the girl being stalked by a circus animal.

Not "great", but certainly underrated.

The movie is not so good, some extra points for a very very cute Elisabeth Shue
