Movie Details:

The Monkey (2025) is a chilling supernatural horror film directed by Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel), adapting Stephen King’s macabre tale of a cursed cymbal-banging monkey toy. The story follows twin brothers Hal and Bill, who discover their childhood torment—a sinister, wind-up monkey—resurfaces decades later, triggering a wave of gruesome deaths around them. Every time the toy’s cymbals clap, someone dies, forcing the brothers to confront their past and destroy the artifact before it claims more victims.

The film stars Theo James (The White Lotus, Divergent) in a dual role as the adult Hal and Bill, with Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth) playing their younger counterparts. The monkey itself is brought to life through a mix of practical animatronics and subtle CGI, enhancing its uncanny, malevolent presence. Perkins’ signature slow-burn tension and psychological dread permeate the film, blending King’s themes of guilt, childhood trauma, and inevitability with visceral horror set-pieces.

Produced by James Wan’s Atomic Monster (The Conjuring universe), The Monkey expands King’s short story into a broader narrative, exploring the brothers’ fractured relationship and the toy’s origins. The setting shifts between timelines—the 1960s, when the boys first discard the monkey, and the 1980s, as adults haunted by its return. Early reviews praise James’ performance and the film’s oppressive atmosphere, though some fans debate its fidelity to King’s original story.

With a score by Perkins’ frequent collaborator Elvis Perkins, the film leans into eerie, retro synth tones reminiscent of 1980s horror. The Monkey joins a wave of recent King adaptations (The Boogeyman, Salem’s Lot) but stands out for its focus on practical effects and familial horror.
