Horror filmmaker Osgood Perkins is on a roll, racking up his second hit in a row with “The Monkey,” which recently became the second biggest-ever box-office opener for its distributor Neon — only behind Perkins’ previous film, “Longlegs.”
Adapted from a Stephen King short story and produced by horror mogul James Wan, “The Monkey” stars Theo James as a pair of twin brothers whose family has been cursed by an evil toy monkey, which causes someone’s death each time it plays its jaunty little song.
