The first reactions are in for The Monkey, a new horror movie from Longlegs director Osgood Perkins, and they're calling it "dark and brutal", "outlandishly demented", and "cartoonishly bloody".
Adapted from Stephen King's short story, the film follows twin brothers Bill and Hal (both played by Theo James), who find their father's old monkey toy in the attic and awake something dangerous. After a series of gruesome deaths start, they decide to throw the toy away, but will that be enough to stop its horrifying powers?
