[The Monkey] is a bloody blast. A big shift away from the feel of Longlegs, the movie is a full on horror-comedy with Osgood Perkins having a ton of fun going into Final Destination territory with one crazy-gory-twisted death after another.

The second trailer for The Monkey has debuted. The upcoming comedy horror movie directed by Longlegs' Osgood Perkins is based on "The Monkey," a short story by Stephen King, which revolves around a cursed toy monkey responsible for a slew of terrifying murders.

Theo James, who is known for his roles in White Lotus and Time Traveler's Wife, is making his horror debut with The Monkey. The film, produced by James Wan and directed by Osgood Perkins, is an adaptation of Stephen King 's 1980 short story.

When it came time to make the Stephen King adaptation The Monkey, Longlegs director Oz Perkins drew on tragedies from his own life.

Horror enthusiasts have been left stunned by the trailer for The Monkey. Adapted from one of the legendary Stephen King's short stories, the freshly released trailer has stirred both excitement and terror among cinephiles due to the "insane" gory content and eerie plot.
