31 Days of Horror Day 07 Flying Monkeys

Flying Monkeys
2013
Sony DVD

Sometime last year I saw that this film was going to air on Syfy Channel. It looked super cheesy,but sometimes these Syfy Channel films can be fun.

Filled with allusions to The Wizard of OZ,like how the town is named Gale,this is the tale of a young lady who gets a pet monkey. Each night when the sun sets the monkey morphs into a killer flying monkey. Who looks like a first gen PS1 graphic.

Through long ass boring scenes we find out that there is only a few flying monkeys left in the world. And two vaguely Asian looking people are in charge of hunting them. We find out that if you kill a flying monkey with any weapon that isn't one of the "holy" ones,they come back to life and create a duplicate.


Now the acting isn't bad. The story is pretty good. But the horrible flying monkey effects hurt this movie so much. I expect cheesy cgi when I watch a Syfy film. But the CGI in this film are almost as bad as Birddemic.

Flying Monkeys gets a D.
