PSYCHO APE!(2020)/PSYCHO APE 2: THE WRATH OF KONG (2024)(Fri. 11/15) 8:00pm

PSYCHO APE! is a 2020 American independent horror film directed by Addison Binek and Greg De Liso. The movie stars Kansas Bowling (Once Upon A Time in Hollywood), Bill Weeden (Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD), and Stephen Albers. Psycho Ape! is a DIY, micro-budget, gore-illa filmmaking, gore-fest that parodies dozens of movies!

Psycho Ape! (Albers) The incredulous story of a man-like ape going on an ape shit killing spree from Detroit to New York City with almost everyone he meets coming to a grizzly end... in mostly banana fashion! On his love quest, obvious, courtesy of the delightful Nancy Banana (Bowling), he's tracked all the way by the intrepid Dr. ZOOmis (Weeden) ...what a story! ...man, beast, love interest ...some of it sound familiar?

Well sounding is where the similarities end, for Psycho Ape! is unlike any other crazy ape movie that has preceded this EPIC adventure. Firstly, the story... this will warp your mind... looking for it! No real story here, just a man ape... or a mape, doing as much damage as possible in random locations, unto random victims, armed with an infinite amount of banana ammo, ending with it's own style of and as expected Empire State building scene... WOAH you say! A spoiler? Really!? Come on, it's a mape in NYC, it's not like a scene has been stolen from A Nighmare On Elm Street... oops!

Psycho Ape! is a blast of movie using randomly shot and collated scenes from a willing cast ("hey, this is Addison, wanna be in a movie...?"), excellent (and not so excellent) green screen, random and delightful comedic moments... edited and coloured to perfection! We're even rewarded with a Psycho Ape! rap... What more do you want? Oh, and of course, there's Matthew the Rampant Collie... THE STAR OF THE SHOW!

We see your Kong and your Planet Of The Apes, and raise you one self proclaimed "dumbest, cheapest one of them all..." - Psycho Ape...

PSYCHO APE 2: THE WRATH OF KONG is a 2024 American independent horror film directed by Addison Binek and Greg De Liso. The movie is a sequel to the 2020 movie and is set 25 years after the events of the first movie, Psycho Ape, Nancy and Dr. Zoomis have settled down into a quiet life.
