Instinct

The Winston gorillas in were so authentic, few people viewing the film ever realized that the animals were not real. "One of the greatest compliments I got from a friend," said Paul Mejias, "was when he said: 'I saw Instinct. Which were the real gorillas and which were yours?' That said it all." "The combination of the art and technology that went into our gorilla heads and suits," added Stan Winston, "the gorilla performances of the actors in those suits, and the fact that they were shot in a natural environment resulted in some of the best gorilla work I've ever seen. We'd had to go through a learning curve on Congo. But with Instinct, we nailed it."

When Theo goes to visit Lynn at her home it is late at night, yet once inside the house, daylight is coming through the windows.
