Osgood Perkins’ ‘The Monkey’, adapted from Stephen King’s 1980 short story, delivers a chilling mix of psychological horror and supernatural dread. Starring Theo James in a dual role as twin brothers Hal and Bill Shelburn, the film centres on a cursed toy monkey that triggers death whenever its cymbals clash.

Visually, The Monkey offers restrained yet effective horror cinematography. While it features graphic imagery, the deaths feel more tragic than gratuitous. Instead of excessive gore, the film highlights Hal’s psychological torment, making the horror deeply personal.
