Our suggestions
Based on the Stephen King short story, and produced by James Wan (The Conjuring, Saw), The Monkey is a new trip from Longlegs writer/director, Osgood Perkins. When twin brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey, a series of outrageous deaths tear their family apart. Twenty-five years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree forcing the estranged brothers to confront the cursed toy.
"The Monkey is another Stephen King adaptation that promises to haunt the public. Here, director Osgood Perkins (Longlegs) transforms a simple children's toy into a catalyst for pure horror. The plot follows twins Bill and Hal, who find their father's old toy monkey in the attic – and soon unexplained deaths begin to happen. Years later, believing they have gotten rid of the object, they discover that the horror still haunts them. With a dark atmosphere and increasing tension, the film delivers scares and an engaging narrative worthy of the horror master."
