🎬 How to Enjoy Stephen King’s The Monkey at Home — Top Streaming Offers
The horror genre erupted in 2025, and one of the key highlights is The Monkey — a gruesome and darkly humorous take on Stephen King’s 1980 short story. Directed by Osgood Perkins (Longlegs), the film centers on twin brothers Hal and Bill (both portrayed by Theo James) who uncover a menacing cymbal-clapping monkey toy in their attic. Once activated, it releases a deadly curse.
Critics have lauded the film for its extravagant gore and twisted comedy. Stephen King himself described it as “batshit insane.” Audience reactions are mixed (57% on Rotten Tomatoes against 79% from critics), yet The Monkey has already amassed over $68 million worldwide.
