Here’s this monkey that doesn’t do anything. It’s not M3GAN. It doesn’t attack. It’s evil just in its existence. Things happen around it for no better reason than they do. Its presence makes people die in insane ways…I’ve had people die in truly, deeply insane ways. Everybody dies whether there’s a monkey or not. What if you could do this with a smile — process the fact that everybody dies? And what an insane, surrealist notion, dude! You will die; we’ll all die. That’s crazy sh—. To do that as a comedy felt very apropos.”The Monkey will be released in United States theaters on February 21, 2025, from Neon.The post The Monkey Trailer Previews Neon & Osgood Perkins’ Twisted Stephen King Horror Movie appeared first on ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.

She will) and flat, caricatural characters. But it also is not supposed to be a high-quality movie. It's supposed to be funny.And funny it is. The movie is full of funny ideas, all worked out in a good, classy manner. Even the basest of jokes are done in good style. Just relax - and laugh. And you'll keep laughing through most of the movie. The monkey (that's a negative point - technically an urang utan is an ape, not a monkey) is well in its place as a comedy actor, and as said - the ideas are good, the working-out is even better.Not 'the best movie you'll ever see', not even close. Not a 'must-see movie'. But a very pleasant way to spend 90 minutes. And enjoyable for both adults and children, that's worth something too.engelsAug 31, 1999Permalink7/10Every time I I see this silly movie I laugh out loud! That orangutan is hilarious!kimmishy5Jul 12, 2019Permalink10/10Very unique plot, well acted, well directed and highly recommend! Good film for the entire family! The title and leaders might be deceiving, but what kid (or adult) doesn't love a monkey making a monkey out of snooty adults? Jason Alexander (George from "Seinfeld" being the responsible, single father of two boys and manager of a major hotel is stretch, at least initially due to his stereotype; however, after watching it a half hour you forget that it is "George" and get involved with the other characters.Another reason to watch is to see Faye Dunaway's amazing post-op face lift and Pee-wee Herman as the "Animal Catcher"? Good, clean fun for the whole family!KSprowlApr 10, 2005Permalink10/10This is one of the finest films I have ever seen. Jason Alexander, Faye Dunaway, and Rupert Evert are all brilliant actors who make this thing work. Paul Reubens puts in a hilarious performance as the crazy animal control specialist La Farge. I guarantee than anyone who sees this movie will laugh from start to finish at all the monkey-mayhem created by Dunston, the lovable but mischievous orangutan. Everyone should see this movie.speedny7Nov 23, 2002Permalink10/101995 and 1996 were clearly the years for movies dealing with primates. "Ed "in 1996 taught us that heroes come in all shapes, and all sizes. Congo (1995) taught us that apes could be both intelligent and evil. Let's not forget 1995's "Born to be Wild", where a teenage boy and female gorilla's near bestiality captured all our hearts. However, not since the original "Planet of Apes" has a movie captivated our attention, and made us feel what it's like to be a monkey. "Dunston Checks In" set the bar for years to come. Sam the orangutan's performance as Dunston is both hilarious and heartbreaking. Blockbuster actors such

It's always exciting when a collection of very talented people collaborate on a new project, and with that in mind, there are some big reasons to be excited for The Monkey. Featuring an excellent cast led by Theo James, the upcoming horror movie is based on a short story by the legendary Stephen King, produced by genre master James Wan, and written and directed by Osgood Perkins – the filmmaker behind Longlegs, one of the buzziest films of the year.If all of that doesn't get you feeling a lot of anticipation, allow the brand new teaser trailer above push you over the finish line.The Monkey is being released by Neon (the same company behind the distribution of Longlegs earlier this summer), and with the studio releasing their latest genre feature in theaters this past weekend – Tilman Singer's Cuckoo – they decide to include a special first look at Osgood Perkins' upcoming Stephen King movie. Clearly it's more "teaser" than "trailer," but despite its short length, it does a surprisingly good job of illustrating an outrageous tone.An adaptation of the story of the same name (which is included in the 1985 Stephen King omnibus Skeleton Crew), The Monkey tells the story of identical twin brothers (Theo James) who grow estranged in adulthood following a traumatic childhood involving a number of deaths that seemed to stem from the actions of an evil toy monkey. Based on the gore splatter and corrupted circus music in the trailer, it doesn't seem like the movie will be short on scares, but the amusing shot of James removing his glasses and the shape of them remaining in blood on his face suggests that there will be a few dark laughs as well.In addition to Theo James, the star-studded horror movie also stars Tatiana Maslany, Christian

The Monkey, a horror film coming out this winter based on the Stephen King short story, features a child actor from Vancouver.Christian Convery, a 15-year-old rising star with dozens of TV and movie credits, plays twins in the film, which was written and directed by Osgood Perkins.If the tagline for The Monkey is any indication, Convery and the audience are in for a spine-chilling time:“Everybody dies and that’s fu**ed up.”The Los Angeles-born Convery stars as young Hal and Bill, twins who find their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, which seemingly causes a series of grotesque deaths to start happening all around them.Hal and Bill throw the monkey away and try to move on, but when the mysterious deaths begin again when they are older, they are forced to come together to destroy the monkey before it is too late.The bloody teaser trailer for the Vancouver-shot film features several scenes including Convery, including a scene where he utters, “Holy sh**.”A new trailer is set to be released on Wednesday, with the Motion Picture Association already rating the film Rated R for bloody and violent content, gore, language throughout, and some sexual references.“Glad I got to be a part of this absolutely incredible and wild movie,” wrote Convery on Instagram.Aside from The Monkey, Convery has starred in Sweet Tooth, Venom, Cocaine Bear and Playing With Fire which also starred John Cena and Keegan-Michael Key.He’s also appeared on Supernatural, Pup Academy, and Descendants 3.Are you looking forward to the film?
