Prepare for a terrifying cinematic experience born from the twisted mind of a horror legend, Stephen King, with writer-director Osgood Perkins’ adaptation of King’s The Monkey, featured in the 1985 collection Skeleton Crew.
The first trailer for The Monkey has arrived, and it looks fantastic and creepy AF. But, that’s what you get when you combine Stephen King’s dark brilliance with Perkins’ talent. After all, Perkins is the writer-director who brought you Longlegs earlier this year.
The Monkey sees Emmy-nominated actor Theo James (Divergent) playing the dual role of twin brothers Hal and Bill. When they unearth a seemingly harmless childhood toy, a wave of brutal deaths begins to plague them. Determined to break the curse, the brothers must confront the monkey’s sinister power before it claims everything they hold dear.
Tatiana Maslany (“Orphan Black”) and Elijah Wood (“Lord of the Rings”) join James. The strong supporting cast includes Christian Convery, Colin O’Brien, Rohan Campbell, and Sarah Levy.
Horror maestro James Wan (The Conjuring, M3GAN, and its upcoming spin-off SOULM8TE) serves as producer for the film alongside Michael Clear.
Don’t monkey around and miss this movie when It premieres in theaters on February 21, 2025, from NEON. Watch The Monkey trailer below.
