Are you ready for Osgood Perkins’ The Monkey? The first reactions to the upcoming Stephen King movie suggest that you are not. The social media embargo for the new horror comedy lifted this past weekend in advance of the film’s arrival in theaters this February,

Written and directed by Longlegs helmer Osgood Perkins and adapted from King's short story of the same name, The Monkey follows twin brothers Hal and Bill (both played by Theo James), who witnessed a string of horrifying deaths as children after discovering their father's toy monkey in the attic.

Horror author Stephen King has given The Monkey his stamp of approval after watching the film, which is based on his own short story, ahead of it's release on 21 February

Stephen King adaptations will be big in 2025, but one movie that will release in February looks like it could be one of the year's best horror films.

Horror author Stephen King, whose spine-chilling tales have been adapted into numerous films and TV series, has given his seal of approval to an 'insane' new film that's been dubbed 'sadistic' by early viewers.
