    It's Called "Psycho Ape"

    A lot of movies that fit into the subgenre of "low" or "micro" budget have a tough decision to make... the first choices are between ignoring their limitations and leaning into them. Then comes the decision on "how far do we lean into this joke..." It is a tricky game. "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" is successful in much the same way. Acknowledging where the joke lays and understanding the budget doesn't let you run away with it, but also not overstaying your welcome. "Psycho Ape" plays this game fairly well. Some jokes might run a bit long, but it still plays to get the laugh. I applaud these filmmakers for giving us exactly what "Psycho Ape" should be...

    Classy Trashy, "Gorilla" filmmaking.

    Everybody Loves A Fun Ape Movie!

    Low budget films can be a lot of fun, and Psycho Ape is one of those films. It has a pre-mainstream John Waters feel about it that will no doubt help it to achieve "Cult Classic" status. Director Addison Binek,(who also co-wrote and produced Psycho Ape) found the perfect talent formula in his cast, which includes new comer, Kansas Bowling, veteran B movie and Troma Films favorite, Bill Weeden and Stephen Albers as the "hunky" Psycho Ape. Maybe it's the "Covid" isolation, but I can see Albers's killer ape reaching a sex symbol status. Everybody Loves A Fun Ape Movie!

    Awesome fun movie!

    This movie is what you get if you loved 80's comedies and you also love the full moon and troma genre. This is a love letter to that and more. So get some shatter,sit back,and watch Psycho Ape! 5/5 bananas! There's Banana fu,4 breasts,tail pipe fu,and the ever fun suck on my banana fu!

    Absolutely Banana's!

    A hilariously zany movie filled with gore, slapstick and plenty of Banana kills! Low budget movies like this have so much heart and passion in them and it's clear to see in the production and clever writing. With Kansas Bowling and Bill Weeden stealing the spotlight every time they are on screen it is an absolute pleasure to watch. An incredible throwback to 80's slasher flick I give this movie 10 Bananas out of 10.

    It Will Grind Your Senses!

    Psycho Ape! An experience like no other! You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll lose your mind! Hands down the greatest love story of 2020! The chemistry between Nancy Banana (Kansas Bowling) and Psycho Ape (Stephen Albers) is amazing beyond measure with A grand performs by (Bill Weeden) as Dr. Zoomis If your into super cheesie "bad" low budget films like (Hectic Knife) this is for you! (Addison Binek) did a great job directing this insane mess while teamed up with writer, director (Greg DeLiso) The madness is heavy in this flick I laughed my buttocks off threw the whole ride.
