Every. Single. Time.
Every time I’ve walked out of the theater after viewing a horror film recently, I’ve felt unsatisfied. Usually, it’s the fault of the film’s flat narrative, cheap scares, poor acting or obsession with delivering a lousy plot.
That changed when I saw Osgood Perkins’ “The Monkey.”
“The Monkey” is an adaptation of Stephen King’s short story. However, the film differs from many of King’s writings by serving as a comedic horror story.
The movie follows twin brothers Hal and Bill Shelburn, who are played by Theo James. Beginning in the 90s, the brothers, as children, inherit a toy monkey from their father. When the key is turned on the back of the toy, someone around them dies. Now in the present day, Hal needs to protect his estranged son, Petey, from the monkey’s curse.
