Theo looking fine even with that mullet and extra small funeral suit
Clay Werner likedThe Monkey7.7 - In the moment, I wasn’t sure how much I was vibing with this, but after a little separation I know that I definitely had fun. It’s very different than what I’ve seen from Perkins’s other projects, especially his most recent, Longlegs. Trading in atmospheric & claustrophobic for screwy &…
zxki is "meh" onThe MonkeyI didn't like 'Longlegs,' but Osgood had a clear chance for redemption. The 'Toy Story' monkey going on a blood-spraying murder spree... and it's based on a King novel? That's anticipation enough. Unfortunately, my satisfaction lasted as briefly as the tension did. The scenes surrounding Maslany…
- Morgan lovedThe Monkey
this movie is *so* my type of humor 💀 i absolutely loved it the ridiculous, over the top gory kills and trippy visuals with a story exploring wild family dynamics… it was so entertaining i didn’t really mind the lack of explanation but i’d love a sequel that goes into the lore
billy dislikedThe MonkeyProbably the worst movie I’ve ever seen. A waste of $60+ (tickets/food), 3 hours (driving/watching), and gas money + vehicle wear. The only amusing or entertaining part the entire time was laughing at my gf laughing because the mom’s name is Lois and she thought of Family Guy.
CvptvinHowdy is "meh" onThe MonkeyKinda disappointed because I heard this was being compared to Final Destination, but there's not really any inventive kills except 1 or 2. The humor only worked like half of the time, and the characters were bland. I guess there's still fun to be had, but not enough for me.
- Seren likedThe Monkey
This was my most anticipated horror in a while. Completely unserious and random but it is effective and entertaining, not a scary storyline as such but the kills are unique and equally as disgusting. Defo worth a view, but it will leave you questioning wtf you just watched
Damien likedThe MonkeyIt was fun. Story was dumb but you’re not here for that anyway. The deaths were cool. Final destination meets comic book gore. Laughed a lot
Superbad likedThe MonkeyA modern classic goofy horror movie Final destination meets sandlot with the most absurd dialogue and deaths

It was good but it was more funny than scary. I was expecting real deal horror and it was lacking in that department.

Another kill is coming, and because we’re in this peculiar, mischievous film, it’ll be a playful one. But the outcome will always be the same: Someone who was once there is now gone. In the face of that chilling, prosaic nightmare, all Perkins can do is laugh.

The movie isn’t quite as unhinged as the trailer indicates but it’s far enough off the beaten path to provide enjoyment for those who enjoy their blood guts served with a twist.
