Plot Summary

A cheating husband gifts his wife a genetically engineered ape named Link, hoping to mend their fractured relationship. However, the ape, exhibiting increasingly disturbing intelligence and aggression, escapes its enclosure and begins a violent hunt for the couple.

Critical Reception

Link received mixed to negative reviews, with many critics citing its predictable plot and uninspired scares. While some appreciated the premise and the ape's performance, the film ultimately failed to deliver a truly suspenseful or original horror experience.

What Reviewers Say

  • Lacks genuine scares and relies too heavily on predictable jump scares.
  • The ape's performance is a highlight, but cannot save the film from its weak script.
  • Fails to capitalize on its intriguing premise, resulting in a forgettable thriller.

Google audience: Audiences found the film to be somewhat suspenseful at times but largely unimpressive, with many pointing out a lack of originality and a predictable storyline. The ape's actions were seen as a minor positive, but not enough to elevate the overall experience.

Fun Fact

The ape in the film, Link, was portrayed by a specially trained chimpanzee named Bobby, who required extensive work with animal handlers to perform the required actions.
