Is The Monkey the Bloodiest Stephen King Adaptation Ever? Get Ready for a Horror Spectacle!
Stephen King’s stories have always explored the darkest corners of the human mind, but The Monkey takes his horror to new, blood-soaked heights! Directed by Osgood “Oz” Perkins, this twisted reimagining of King’s 1980 short story is being hailed as one of the goriest King adaptations ever—packed with gruesome deaths, dark humor, and unrelenting suspense.
Starring Theo James, The Monkey follows two brothers who uncover a cursed toy monkey that unleashes a relentless killing spree. Every time it beats its drum, someone dies in a horrifyingly creative way—and the carnage only escalates. Think Final Destination meets Evil Dead, with a dash of King’s signature supernatural terror.
Perkins, known for his slow-burn psychological horror, surprises audiences by going full slasher mode, delivering jaw-dropping practical effects, inventive kills, and a wicked sense of humor. If you love pure horror madness, this is the must-watch horror event of 2025.
Brace yourself for the nightmare—watch The Monkey in theaters on February 21!
