Get ready, horror movie fans! Remember that 1986 classic ‘Link’? Who can forget the yellow-eyed killer ape that made us all jump? The Killer Ape classic, directed by Richard Franklin, is swinging back to our screens. Brought to you in a fresh 4K version by Kino Lorber, this grim tale is set to drop on September 10. You don’t want to miss it!
A Look Back: The Story of ‘Link’
If you can’t quite recall the story of ‘Link’, here’s a quick reminder: The film stars Elisabeth Shue (from The Karate Kid) and Terence Stamp (star of The Limey). Shue plays Jane, a young grad student working for an odd zoology professor played by Stamp. Not a typical job, she ends up in a remote house with two chimps and an old orangutan named Link. Things go wrong when a chimp dies, the professor vanishes and Link gets aggressive.
‘Link’ was special for Shue. It marked her first leading role and what a brilliant job she did. She held her own against her challenging ape co-stars, delivering a power-packed performance.
Stellar Cast Highlights
The movie also features notable actors like Steven Finch from Brookside, Richard Garnett from Jeeves and Wooster, David O’Hara from The Professor and the Madman, Kevin Lloyd from The Bill, and Joe Belcher from Coronation Street. Their sterling performances in this hair-raising horror drama will keep you guessing till the end.
What’s in the 4K Package?
Along with the stunning 4K imagery, you’ll get a bunch of cool extras. You can enjoy an audio commentary by Film Historian Lee Gambin and Film Critic Jarret Gahan. You can watch deleted scenes. You can listen to an audio interview with director Richard Franklin. And you can groove to Jerry Goldsmith’s demo of the Link Theme. All this with optional English subtitles to make sure you catch every bit of the suspense.
