Stephen King shared his thoughts on Threads about The Monkey, which was written and directed by Osgood Perkins and stars Theo James.

Written and directed by Longlegs helmer Osgood Perkins and adapted from King's short story of the same name, The Monkey follows twin brothers Hal and Bill (both played by Theo James), who witnessed a string of horrifying deaths as children after discovering their father's toy monkey in the attic.

[The Monkey] is a bloody blast. A big shift away from the feel of Longlegs, the movie is a full on horror-comedy with Osgood Perkins having a ton of fun going into Final Destination territory with one crazy-gory-twisted death after another.

Horror author Stephen King, whose spine-chilling tales have been adapted into numerous films and TV series, has given his seal of approval to an 'insane' new film that's been dubbed 'sadistic' by early viewers.

Stephen King adaptations will be big in 2025, but one movie that will release in February looks like it could be one of the year's best horror films.
