Get ready to bring the terror home! NEON has announced the highly anticipated digital and physical release dates for Osgood Perkins’ chilling new horror sensation, The Monkey.
A Terrifying Tale
Adapted from the Stephen King short story, The Monkey is produced by horror maestro James Wan. Wan is the creative force behind iconic franchises like The Conjuring. The film weaves a terrifying tale of a cursed wind-up monkey that unleashes gruesome deaths upon a family. When twin brothers discover the mysterious toy, their lives are shattered by a wave of inexplicable violence. Twenty-five years later, the monkey resurfaces. It embarks on a new killing spree that forces the brothers to confront the dark forces that tore them apart.
A Horror Hit
