The premise

A newly discovered 36-foot gorilla escapes from a freighter off the coast of Korea. At the same time an American actress is filming a movie in the country. Chaos ensues as the ape kidnaps her and rampages through Seoul.

Horror Vault's take

When a colossal 36-foot gorilla breaks free from a ship off the Korean coast, the creature wastes no time carving a destructive path toward Seoul. An American actress on location becomes the beast's unlikely fixation, drawing military forces into a desperate pursuit through the streets. Shot in South Korea on a shoestring budget, A*P*E wears its King Kong inspiration proudly — and unabashedly — on its oversized sleeve. Expect practical monster mayhem delivered with all the restraint of a runaway freight train.
