Based on Stephen King’s 1980 short story of the same name, The Monkey relies on a premise that anyone who’s seen Planet Of The Apes, Nope or—perhaps in the most relevant case—Toy Story 3 will be intimately familiar with: monkeys are fucking scary. Especially toy monkeys like that snitching demon from the Pixar film.

A freaky monkey toy unleashes death and destruction in The Monkey, director Osgood Perkins's ( Longlegs) adaptation of Stephen King's short story of the same name.

The Stephen King adaptation The Monkey, which is written and directed by Osgood Perkins, who made the horror movie Longlegs, has a teaser trailer out.
