Video Review – The Monkey is for the sickos

February 3, 2025 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno dives into Oz Perkins’ latest film…

In the best possible way, director Osgood Perkins, producer James Wan, and studio Neon have cooked up a movie for the sickos, weirdos, and freaks. The Monkey is some sick shit, and we wouldn’t ask it for any other way.

This new horror comedy trip challenges you to laugh at its terror as it holds nothing back in its chills and thrills. If there’s a 1000 ways to die, this movie finds 1001. You have to see this to believe it!

Check out critic EJ Moreno and his video review of what is described as “pure monkey madness.” Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

When twin brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey, a series of outrageous deaths tear their family apart. Twenty-five years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree, forcing the estranged brothers to confront the cursed toy. 

Theo James stars with Tatiana Maslany, Christian Convery, Colin O’Brien, Rohan Campbell, and Sarah Levy, with Adam Scott and Elijah Wood.

The Monkey will be released in cinemas on February 21, 2025.
