A new trailer for The Monkey, based on the Stephen King short story of the same n🐓ame, has arrived – ♏and it's seriously unnerving.
In the clip, which can be viewed below, we see a series of terrifying, fr🅠eak accident deaths, involving blood, fire, and an electrified swimming pool. "Everybody dies," one character remarks. "And t💮hat's life." These deaths, however, seem to have a supernatural cause, revolving around that creepy monkey...
The short story penned by King provides some clues: it follows two brothers, Peter and Dennis (renamed Bill and Hal in the movie), who find a cymbal-banging monkey toy🌃 belonging to their father in the attic, starting a chain reaction of gruesome deaths.
Per the official film synopsis: "In an attempt to leave the haunting behind, the brothers opt to discard the monkey and pursue separate paths over time. However, when the inexplicable deaths resurface, the brothers are compelled to reconcile and embark on a mission to permanently eliminate the cursed toy." Longlegs helmer Osgood Perkins directs from a scr🔯eenplay he adapted himself.
The cast includes Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, Elijah Wood, Christian Convery, Colin O'Brien, Roh💜an Campbell, and Sarah Levy. James Wan is producing the pic under his Atomic Monster banner.
Of course, Longlegs was one terrifying movie, so we expect spine-chilling things from The Monkey when it hits theaters on February 21, 2025.
