Neon has released an excerpt from the horror film «Monkey» by director Osgoode Perkins («Longlegs»). The new film will be an adaptation of Stephen King’s 1980 short story of the same name.
In the scene presented, Aunt Ida (Sarah Levy) wakes up in the middle of the night, feeling threatened. Armed with a pistol, she goes down to the basement, where she falls down the stairs and suffers multiple wounds to her face, which is later engulfed in flames.
The film tells the story of twin brothers Hal and Bill, who discover an old toy monkey in their parents’ attic. After a series of unexplained deaths, the brothers decide to get rid of the find and go their separate ways. However, years later, mysterious events force them to reunite to destroy the cursed toy forever.
Theo James will play the lead dual role, which viewers will remember from the «Divergent» franchise and the «White Lotus» series. The younger version of the twins will be played by «Sweet Tooth» star Christian Convery. The cast also includes Tatiana Maslany, known for «Black Orphan», Elijah Wood and young talent Colin O’Brien.
According to Perkins, «Monkey» will be one of his darkest projects yet. The director promises fans of the genre stunning scenes of violence and deep psychological tension characteristic of King’s works.
«Monkey» will be released in Ukraine on February 20, 2025.
