The Monkey is a new adaptation of Stephen King’s work that offers some imaginative kill scenes. I appreciated the unique creativity behind them, which occasionally made me chuckle unexpectedly.

The film has a blend of horror and dark humor, creating a distinct atmosphere.

It’s nice to see more of King’s stories on the silver screen. While it may not be perfect, The Monkey provides an interesting viewing experience for horror fans looking for something fresh and entertaining.

Overall, it’s worth a watch if you enjoy a mix of blood, gore, some humor and great kill shots.

Grade: B-

About The Peetimes: I have 2 Peetimes for you. I’ll caution you on both, you will miss a cool scene because the movie is full of them. I did my best to avoid the best ones.

There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of The Monkey.

Plot
When twin brothers Bill and Hal find their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths start. The siblings decide to throw the toy away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years.
