The Monkey Review

‘The Monkey’ is a Gory Horror Comedy with a Somber Heart at its Center. ‘Longlegs’ director Osgood Perkins adapts a Stephen King story in ‘The Monkey,’ a gruesome, often darkly absurd look at the random nature of death. If you’re a Stephen King fan, put away any preconceptions about what ‘The Monkey’ is. While it’s based on a 1980 short story by the horror master (which can now be found in his 1985 collection, ‘Skeleton Crew’), this adaptation by writer-director Osgood Perkins takes only the bare bones of the plot and expands it from there in some decidedly different directions.
