The Mafu Cage
Movie • 1978 • Horror
ReportSynopsis
Two strange sisters live in a crumbling mansion, where they keep a pet ape, which belonged to their late father, locked in a cage. While one of the sisters seems to be keeping her head on straight, as it were, the other appears to be sinking further and further into barbarism and insanity.

Carol Kane talks in an interview about using a balsa wood chain as not to hurt the orangutan, however it did get scared by her performance and bit her in fear. It seems that the attempt was made not to hurt any animals, but a stressful set may have stressed out the animals involved

Ellen starves herself to death to get Cissy caught. The film then ends with Cissy locking herself in the Mafu cage with the key out of reach, presumably to meet the same fate as her sister.

Ellen and Cissy have an incestuous relationship- possibly due to their isolation from the world
