The Monkey (2025)
'The Monkey' stars Tatiana Maslany ("She-Hulk") and Theo James ("The White Lotus"), plus their director Osgood Perkins ('Longlegs') sit down with IMDb to discuss how Perkins's tongue-in-cheek adaptation of the Stephen King short story sets the tone for the film, why James and Maslany vibe with that sick sense of humor, and which of the many Rube Goldbergian death scenes is their favorite.

    • Trivia
      According to the director, the decision to have the monkey bang a drum instead of cymbals was due to the rights to the cymbal-banging version being owned by The Walt Disney Company, as the toy had appeared as a character in Toy Story 3. Which is ironic, because the cymbal monkey was in Toy Story 3 in the first place because its director Lee Unkrich is a fan of Stephen King.

      Hal and Bill's room has a Nintendo Gamecube controller sitting near the TV. The Gamecube did not release in North America until November 14th 2001 and the scene is supposed to take place in 1999.

    A mess of a movie.

    Right from the start you can tell how you'll fell at the end of the film. You either love or hate this movie. There's no in-between.

    The movie is too goofy to work as a horror movie and it's too serious to be a dark comedy. There are horrible tonal shifts throughout the entire film. This actually feels like someone tried to write "marvel humour" into a Stephen King movie. By the way, that "based on Stephen King works" is a total disappointment, no single recognizable traits from his works can be seen in here. There is a kind of "twist" at the mid point but it's there just for shock value and totally inconsequential.

    The worst part of this "slasher" is that all the deaths are so complicated yet so boring.

    What a waste of time.
