Blue Monkey (also known as "Invasion of the BodySuckers", "Green Monkey" (original title) and simply "Insect") is a 1987 Canadian horror film directed by William Fruet (Funeral Home, Death Weekend) and starring Steve Railsback (Commander Carlsen from Lifeforce).First things first. The title. Other than one mention of "Maybe we'll find a big blue monkey" from one of the Free-Range Children exploring the creepy utility tunnels underneath the hospital where the majority of the film is set, the title has nothing whatsoever to do with anything, and in fact it was originally going to be called Green Monkey before the distributors realized that it was a theory at the time that AIDS came from green African monkeys (although since part of the plot concerns a disease, "Green Monkey" might've been apropos after all).Handyman Fred Adams pricks his finger on a mysterious new plant from Micronesia in his friend Marwella Harbison's greenhouse. Despite his assurances that he's fine, Fred collapses in the parking lot and has to be rushed to the Hill Valley Clinic with a very high fever. He isn't the hospital's only emergency; Doctors Rachel Carlson and Judith Glass have their hands full. Police Detective Jim Bishop (Railsback) brings his partner in with a gunshot wound from a stakeout gone bad, and there's also a couple, the Bakers, expecting a baby. But things go from hectic to terrifying when Fred seizes up and promptly regurgitates an insect pupa, which soon hatches into a particularly nasty-looking praying mantis-like critter.In an effort to identify the insect, the hospital calls in entomologist Elliot Jacobs. But before he can get a look at the thing, the aforementioned Free-Range Children decide to feed the thing some growth hormones when the lab technician who is supposed to be guarding the specimen is lured away from her duties by an orderly for a little hospital hanky-panky. The bug grows gigantic, kills the technician, the orderly and then a hapless janitor (but not those pesky kids), before making its lair in the tunnels under the hospital. Now Rachel, Jim the detective and Elliot the entomologist have to figure out how to combat the big bug, while Judith struggles to deal with the infection it carries, which it turns out is highly contagious, and all before the military decides to take drastic measures against the hospital full of innocent people.It's basically "Alien in a hospital." | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Blue Monkey / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: The original monster is a hermaphrodite, and gives birth to another one of its kind. One serves as the "male," the other the "female," and they incestuously mate and lay lots of eggs (apparently forgoing the original parasitism portion of the initial creature's life cycle). | |

Obstructive Bureaucrat | |
| Blue Monkey / int_1f799027 | comment |
Obstructive Bureaucrat: Hospital director Roger Levering, who doesn't see people vomiting up larvae and then bursting as anything to get too worried about, and refuses to even contact professional help until its almost too late. He becomes nicer as the movie progresses, however, and even becomes a Reasonable Authority Figure once the severity of the giant killer bug situation becomes impossible to ignore, and even helps get many of the patients and staff to safety near the end. On top of this, his hesitancy in contacting the Lincoln Institute becomes understandable considering their reaction to the situation is to have the hospital surrounded with armed troops and shoot anyone who tries to escape. | |

Hospital Hottie: Brandon Tenold described Judith as "Nurse Sexy Librarian," and Rachel is quite attractive as well. This trope is taken to the extreme on the movie's VHS box cover, depicting the monster stalking several scantily-clad nurses, at least one of whom is being subjected to the Touch of the Monster. | |

Body Horror | |
| Blue Monkey / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: In spades. The creatures' life cycle of parasitizing human beings who then regurgitate the larvae in a pupal state, complete with bulging lumps in their necks and white gunk dribbling out of their mouth, is quite horrific. Then there's the disease, which, according to Judith, causes the bones to liquefy and flood the circulatory system, causing the patient to go into cardiac arrest (and explode if defibrillators are used in an attempt to restart their heart). | |

Too Dumb to Live: Just about everything that goes wrong in the film is the direct result of either the hospital staff failing to practice basic safety and sanitary precautions (such as allowing a group of children and a drunken old lady to run around unattended, ignoring direct orders to go have sex, and not thinking a man vomiting up a massive insect larva is a big deal) or the bratty kids messing with hospital tools and chemicals [clearly marked "BIOHAZARD". | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Albert Hooper from the Lincoln Institute. He is willing to burn down Marwella Harbison's entire property, quarantine the hospital and have anyone trying to leave shot on sight without remorse, all to contain the infection the insect(s) carry. He isn't portrayed as villainous, exactly, merely callous, and is instead simply doing what he thinks he has to do to prevent the disease from spreading. | |
