"Escaped research monkeys" isn't even that creative of a start to a sci-fi or horror movie. It's so cliche I can't believe it happened

Let me guess, the research facility was studying primate intelligence devwlopement. Or rabies. Yawn.
I'm beginning to think reality is not guided purely by random chance or by an all knowing creator, but by a handful of adversarial scriptwriters trying to make a black comedy.
Go, monkeys!!
Bite a few Republicans while you are at it plz.
I could go for a light zombie outbreak right now.
Can't blame them - I would try to get out of SC too
12 Monkeys 2: Dozens of Monkeys!
“Is it a prequel or a sequel?”
“Yes”
Pleas don't give Hollywood any ideas...
I’m imaging a series of movies where the timeline of each sequel expands outward in both time directions. First movie is 1950-1980, second movie is both 1940-1950 and 1980-1990, etc, with the time travel shenanigans getting increasingly complex each iteration with the characters going farther back trying to control the events of the previous movies, and us seeing further ramifications in the future of those attempts.
I was thinking like a paraquel. Where the second movie takes place at the same time, but from completely different perspectives.
Would be cool to highlight people with main character mentality.
Wait I’ve seen this movie.
You can tell the writers are running out of ideas this season
I’m guessing they were allowed to vote?
It marks the fourth time since 2014 that primates have escaped the facility. Dozens escaped most recently in 2018. Source
They're gonna be hillbilly monkeys now.
