Osgood “Oz” Perkins’s adaption of the grisly Stephen King story The Monkey, starring Theo James as twin brothers, is in theatres.
When young twin brothers Hal and Bill (Sweet Tooth’s Christian Convery) discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years.
But when the mysterious deaths begin again, the adult brothers (The Gentlemen’s Theo James) must reunite to find a way to destroy the monkey for good before it takes the lives of everyone close to them.
Redband Trailer:
The Monkey deaths are as inventive as Final Destination deaths:: demise by shotgun, harpoon, hibachi knife, bowling ball, electrified swimming pool, lawnmower and stampeding horses.
