The Monkey - Images and Trailer

From Osgood Perkins, the visionary director behind the acclaimed horror Longlegs, comes a new nightmare steeped in suspense and supernatural dread: The Monkey. This spine-chilling film takes audiences on a dark journey, unraveling the sinister secrets behind an innocent-looking vintage toy monkey.

Twin brothers Hal and Bill uncover their father's old toy monkey in the attic, awakening a string of horrifying deaths. What begins as an unsettling coincidence soon spirals into a nightmare as the brothers realize the toy carries a malevolent curse.

Desperate to escape its deadly grip, Hal and Bill discard the monkey and separate, hoping distance will end the terror. But years later, when the deaths resurface, they are forced to reunite and confront the horror they thought they had left behind. Together, they must unravel the mystery of the cursed toy and attempt to destroy it before it claims more lives.

Renowned for his atmospheric storytelling and innovative approach to horror, Osgood Perkins has solidified his reputation as a genre master with acclaimed films like The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel, and Longlegs. In The Monkey, Perkins could delve even deeper into themes of psychological tension and familial bonds, crafting a chilling narrative that seamlessly blends bone-deep scares with darkly comedic moments—guaranteed to terrify some while leaving others in fits of nervous laughter.

One of the most unforgettable promotional images from The Monkey features a man standing in a room completely drenched in blood. The crimson horror covers every inch of him—except the outline of his glasses, the only clue that he was once untouched by the chaos. Am I alone in thinking this moment could be played for laughs?

One of the more unsettling images from the film's promotional campaign (below) features a woman with blood dripping from her eyes. This chilling image encapsulates the raw, unrelenting terror that The Monkey could bring to life.

Get ready for what looks to be a hell of a good time at the movies! Watch the official trailer below to catch a glimpse of this tale:
