The Monkey

When twin brothers find their father's mysterious wind-up monkey toy in the attic, a series of outrageous deaths begin, and tears their family apart. They decide to throw the toy away and move on with their lives... growing apart over the years.

Twenty-five years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree, forcing these estranged brothers to confront the cursed toy once again.

Based on the Stephen King short story, and from writer-director Osgood Perkins (Longlegs), The Monkey pulls no punches and delivers gore – and lots of it – with a dark slice of hilarity in that true style of the midnight-movie comedy-horror genre.
