The Monkey Ratings & Reviews
- NjParmarMarch 7, 2026Although I am not the biggest fan of the main actor, the movie itself was quite entertaining with some dark humor along the way.
- Paul WalshMarch 3, 2026Osgood Perkins may be the most prolific mainstream horror movie director at the moment. The man just keeps cranking out films. This one is a quirky, violent cursed item horror movie that does not take itself very seriously. A breezy watch with some interesting kills. Elijah Wood's brief appearance is hilarious.
- ScottFebruary 20, 2025A spiritual successor to Final Destination. Never thought I could, or would, call a movie about generational trauma genuinely funny and yet here we are.
- LivewireAdminFebruary 3, 2026Surprisingly decent? I was underwhelmed by Longlegs so I went into The Monkey with low expectations and it was for the better. Perkins seems to be able to juggle horror and comedy better than he does just straight horror. I don't believe I have seen Theo James in anything else before but he was excellent in this. Tatiana Maslany as well.
- Iby OmidakhshApril 18, 2025I paid nothing to watch this movie, but I already want my money back.
- CherryflixJanuary 11, 2026Batshit bonkers. Watch this.
- Josh GammonJanuary 10, 2026Terrible. Was excited for this movie and was a total let down!
- Cullen CockburnApril 10, 2025A dumb and goofy movie with no plot. It was fantastic.
- JakeysJanuary 3, 2026I'm a harsh critic on horror, but it looks like I'm not alone in thinking this was average. Funny though, thankfully. Didn't think much of the acting either. The only genuinely great moment in this movie was the woman inexplicably exploding on impact in the electrified pool. That really caught me off guard in a fantastic and memorable way. The movie at least didn't take itself seriously, because if it did I think it would have been genuinely bad. As it stands, it was okay.
- DJFebruary 22, 2025Big horror buff, just see my activity, and I appreciate all forms of horror. Funny, sad, violent, mind games, splatter etc. etc. and I really wanted to love this as a popcorn splatterfest but it fell short of even my lukewarm expectations. The kills were fun but rushed. The dark comedy for whatever reason just didn’t seem to fit the film. I also love most of Osgood Perkins work (Blackcoat and Long Legs). Just fell short. Do I recommend it as a couch watch? Sure, but don’t expect much. Premise, a cursed toy monkey kills randomly every-time you turn the crank on it. Pretty simple.
- makdelartNovember 26, 2025Osgood Perkins' version of Final Destination is a waste of his talent on such unfunny antics. Next time, please give me something serious.
- Sarah WilliamsNovember 24, 2025God awful movie, would not recommend.
- nox10April 7, 2025that priest " Oh fuck " 4.5, absolute cinema
- marshalseaApril 22, 2025Anyone reviewing this low doesn't have the right sense of humour. They've also completely missed out on an outrageous time. This was an absolute riot, perfectly pitched, acted, directed - camp in a proper 80s b-movie way, gory in a proper 80s b-movie way, over the top in a proper 80s b-movie way. If Andy Scott with an outrageous moustache laughing maniacally with a flame thrower didn't set this up you're the problem. Os Perkins hits it out the park again in a very different way. Looking forward to his next one.
- KainMarch 30, 2025i really have no idea what i just watched. um there’s gore if you into that stuff… and uhhh yeah that’s all i have.
