Factual errors: The baboon appearing in the movie is not a Shakma but Hamadryas - different species. Shakma baboon (Papio ursinus) is the largest species of baboon, Hamadryas (Papio hamadryas) is significantly smaller and easy recognizable by a mane around his face - the only baboon species to have such feature. moreFAQ

If you have never seen the unrestrained, unreasoning fury of an enraged baboon, brace yourself.
Watching Shakma, I started out thinking, "Well, he's just a little monkey, it's not like he's a tiger or a snake or something," but after seeing Typhoon throw himself (quite literally) into the role of Shakma, I reconsidered the destructive capabilities of the primate chassis.
Shakma is a many-armed frenzy of horror and doom, and this movie is absolutely worthwhile if only for that awe-inspiring display.
The acting's a little thin, and there are a few scenes that'll really make you roll your eyes, but if you get a chance to see this movie for under $5, take it. You won't be sorry.
