See The Bizarre Poster And New Trailer For Osgood Perkins’ THE MONKEY
It’s a toy monkey?
It’s evil, it’s basically the devil.
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.
Based on the Stephen King short story, and produced by James Wan (The Conjuring, Saw), THE MONKEY is a new trip from LONGLEGS writer/director, Osgood Perkins.
Buckle in and check out the crazy trailer below.
THE MONKEY stars Theo James, Tatiana Maslany and Elijah Wood.
The film hits theaters on February 21st.
In an interview with EMPIRE, the filmmaker says of the gore, “All the death set-pieces were hard to do,” Perkins says. “They all have a Rube Goldbergian connectivity — this happens, then this happens, then this happens…”
The result might not be exactly what audiences are expecting after Longlegs. But that’s exactly what Perkins was aiming for. “I honestly feel fucking great about [how different The Monkey is from Longlegs],” he explains. “I can’t think of another morbidly surreal horror comedy that’s also heartwarming and redemptive and stars a bona-fide movie hunk. That’s the best news I can offer to people who liked Longlegs — we make all kinds. Why would anyone want to be fed the same meal every day?”
