Kenneth J. Berton has outdone himself once again. Taking his previous story about the killer monkey and seamlessly adding merlin into the mix was an inspired touch. The first half of the film seemed to be there to fill up the extra time but once the monkey story got going there was no stopping it. superb character development and good alround acting, especially from the bearded neighbour. The grandfather telling the story to the child detracted from the suspense of both stories i thought although those scenes were generally well done. all in all i think the mystical potential merlin could have brung to a great story was not fulfilled but it was a decent attempt. well done Berton!
