SUMMARY : American zoology student Jane Chase persuades Dr. Steven Phillip to hire her for the summer holidays as an assistant in the vast Victorian-style mansion where he lives alone, at the foot of a cliff in northern England. While he teaches at the University of Science London, the anthropologist is also secretly working on the famous missing link between man and ape. Once there, Jane meets the chimpanzees Imp and Voodoo, and the intriguing Link, an orangutan dressed in a butler's livery. One day, she learns by chance that Phillip plans to sell Link and Voodoo. Shortly after, he disappears. Jane then tries to leave the house, but Link stops her... and holds her prisoner.

ABOUT THE FILM : Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 1986 Avoriaz Film Festival, Link is a unique thriller in which Richard Franklin (Patrick, Psycho 2) successfully blends suspense, humor, animal aggression, psychology, and fantasy, right up to its breathtaking, slasher-esque finale. In this stifling closed-door setting, we will remember the performances of Terence Stamp (The Obsessed, Theorem), Elisabeth Shue (Back to the Future Part 2 and 3), and, of course, the absolutely stunning Locke the orangutan. All punctuated by a formidable musical score composed by Jerry Goldsmith.
