Nothing Special - Just An Average Film
The film is based on the novel The Dream of the Mad Monkey by Christopher Frank. The movie is known as The Mad Monkey and Twisted Obsession. WARNING SPOILERS BELOW! Daniel Gillis & Julien Legrand were both played by Malcolm Greene and his sister Jenny. Jenny used sex to get to the men and she's only 16 years old. The reason for this is so Malcom and Jenny's movie will be made - to get a foothold into and maybe become big time in the (porno) film industry and all with the help of Marilyn (Daniel's agent and also the agent of the two kids). Basically, the 16 year old girl can and will yell "rape" if the men backed out of doing the film - while shelling out money to the two youthful (porno) film makers.
At beginning of the film, Malcolm tells Daniel of a book called The Mad Monkey that his sister found and that is what they want to base their film on it. Malcolm clearly states that movies are like bad dreams.
It seems it's one of those endings that leaves you guessing "did all this really happen OR was it all something that Daniel just wrote and Marilyn just read it as we watched it?" It's an okay film. A sexploration, incest, manipulation film based of the novel.
5/10
