Blue Monkey (1987)
While working in a greenhouse, a man receives an insect bite after touching an exotic plant. Immediately, he falls ill and is taken to an emergency room where the doctors diagnose him as suffering from an unknown bacteria, and a strange parasite which emerges from his mouth as a large slimy wormlike creature. Soon, there are more cases of bacterial infection, but the more immediate problem for the hospital is the wormlike creature which after accidental exposure to a genetic growth stimulant grows to monstrous proportions and starts a reign of terror and bloodshed in the hospitals abandoned wing.

A Masterpiece!
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
I've seen this movie so many times that I am on my second VHS copy. As I am writing this I am burning it onto DVD, because I'm not sure it's even available in that format. Well...It should be! If you like campy horror/sci-fi movies then you'll love this puzzling gem. And for the love of Pete, it's got Steve Railsback(X-Files, Lifeforce, Helter Skelter, Devils Rejects)!!! This is a movie about a quarantined hospital under attack from a ravaging bacterial disease outbreak, and worse. No, not a blue monkey. Worse.OK, so I had to finish the movie and stop writing for a few minutes. This movie is great for a lot of reasons that come up around midnight. Don't expect to be scared, though there is some great bloody gore. If you like The Terror Within, or Dead Pit or stuff like that, you'll love it. If you think any movie with an alien since the release of Alien is a rip-off of Alien, then go rent Alien.
Nothing too original here. The lighting sort of helps the movie at times; hiding the creature, but overall sort of a murky movie. Pretty much a waste of Steve Railsback (so good as Duane Berry in X-Files and Manson in Helter Skelter)and Joe Flaherty(the comic relief a little flat). Not only that but Railsback gets second billed to the creature. But still some decent action scenes (nice beheading) and fair amount of predictable drama. The hospital,unbelievable as it may be, provides a fairly good setting. A previous reviewer astutely mentioned the 'Alien' imitations. That's pretty much what you got here: 'Them' crossed with 'Alien' and not as good as either, of course. Still worth the $3.00 I spent for it at the flea market. ** out of *****
Just fun to watch, no meaning or anything. Just plain "giant mutated monster" inside a hospital and some people panic and scream while others try to stop it. I thought the acting wasn't bad, and there were a couple of gory moments. The "blue monkey" which is a giant insect was an ok model. Very predictable.
After you've heard the name "Blue Monkey", you start to wonder, what does it mean? Well, you already know the answer to that. It's a campy horror(I mean s**t)flick with no meaning or no talent involved whatsoever. It's title is as meaningless and as pointless as the movie itself. It was originally called "Green Monkey". The title was changed to "Blue Monkey". Big improvement. Bad special effects and poor filming all add up to make this one of the worst movies hollywood has ever seen(or one of the worst one's I've seen for that matter)!
