Intro: I was curious to watch this movie, especially because it's a horror + it seemed the critics enjoyed it, so when I got a chance I gave it a go.
Film 2373: "The Monkey" (2025), Osgood Perkins
Watched on: My computer
Language: English
Watched with: No one
Thoughts: I mean, I did enjoy it overall, but the overpromising marketing campaign kinda ruined this movie for me a bit.
First, yeah I liked "Longlegs" enough, but not as much as everybody else did, so the appeal of seeing the same director returning for another hell of a ride only worked so far with me. Additionally, I'm always a bit sceptical with new projects that adapt Stephen King's body of work. They usually don't work great.
Horror movies aren't easy to make, especially these days, so kudos to "The Monkey" for offering an actual horror story. Was I blown away by the end result? No, but I did enjoy the watch. and Theo James is a good lead.
Cast: Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, Christian Convery, Colin O'Brien, Rohan Campbell, Sarah Levy, Adam Scott, Elijah Wood.
Box Office: $68.9 million
Worth a watch?: It's very gruesome and extremely detailed in portraying the various death scenes: for some people works, for others might be a bit intense. If you love the genere and Osgood Perkins's work, tho, it's a nice ride.
Awards: /
Key word: Toy.
