What is the Stephen King film adaptation The Monkey about?

As the twins Bill and Hal (both played by Theo James). old toy monkeys find her in her father’s attic, it sets off a series of terrible deaths. The brothers decide to throw the scary thing away. As they grow older, they become estranged from each other, but the cursed monkey apparently isn’t done with them yet.

In addition to Theo James (Divergent), stars such as Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings) and Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) also appear in front of the camera. The poster and teaser trailer promise: “Everyone dies. And that’s really sick.” The video delights in showing us how exactly the people in The Monkey face their death by only focusing on their reactions to the bloody atrocities. At the moment, there is a trio behind the camera that is stoking anticipation about the cast:

The following three names associated with The Monkey should catch the attention of horror fans:

  • Horror author Stephen King has now provided the basis for almost 100 film adaptations of his works. The short story on which The Monkey is based also comes from him. You can read about them in the Skeleton Crew * collection, for example.
  • actors and Director Osgood Perkins is not only the son of Psycho star Anthony Perkins, but after the success of Longlegs this year, he is also well on his way to establishing himself as a genre filmmaker in the minds of horror fans. The Monkey is his new film.
  • Producer James Wan created modern horror classics such as Insidious, Saw and Conjuring. If he supports a horror project like The Monkey, we should keep an eye on it too.

    • When does the horror film The Monkey start in cinemas?

    The Monkey will be released in cinemas in the USA on February 21, 2025. The horror film has not yet received a concrete release in Germany, but that certainly won’t take long.
