SYNOPSIS:
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.
WHAT SETS THIS FILM APART?
THE FUN
THE MONKEY is the most entertaining horror movie of the year. The film has the ability to merge outrageous humour with thrilling horror creating an entertaining rollercoaster that subverts genre expectations. You’ll come out of this film talking about it way beyond release.
THE HORROR AVENGERS
This is the ULTIMATE horror team. THE MONKEY is headed by a cross-generational trio of horror maestros – Osgood Perkins (LONGLEGS), James Wan (SAW, INSIDIOUS) & Stephen King (IT, CARRIE). The film is a ‘melding of the minds,’ and has something to satisfy horror fans of all ages and types.
THE KILLS
The kills are really f**ked up. Genre purists are sure to be satisfied by the grisly, practical-based kills. They are extravagant and inventive – brimming with detail, gore and absurdist humour that will captivate audiences
THE NEW TRIP (THIS IS NOT LONGLEGS)
Following his breakout success with LONGLEGS, Perkins yet again reinvents himself with The Monkey, offering a distinct, innovative take on a new genre while playing homage to 80s genre classics. THE MONKEY is yet another outstanding accomplishment at the front of an exciting new chapter of Perkins filmmaking journey.
