Taking a Stephen King horror short story and turning it into a goofy comedy is an unexpected choice, but you know what, “The Monkey” pulls it off. It’s a gory, funny, good time.

It does have a fireworks factory problem, though. How do you make a horror movie that repeatedly mentions a horror-themed amusement park and then never shows it? That is a miss.

Stephen King is right. #TheMonkey really is batsh*t insane. While I personally didn't find it too engaging, I do respect what the film is trying to do. It's a movie that takes risk, even if it results in divided opinions. You may or may not enjoy it, but the film will surely stay with you.

What starts out as a bloody and rather silly horror comedy loses its way in the second half as the narrative falls a little flat and it gets a bit samey. A stronger cast might also have helped as star Theo James feels overwhelmed here in dual roles. But the film offers plenty of violent, gore-soaked fun for fans of horror comedies assuming they don't have sky-high expectations. 🤔

HubPagesShould I Watch..? "The Monkey" (2025)With some heavyweight horror names behind it, you'd expect this goofy indie effort to be a class act. Benjamin Cox thinks it's more of a clown - still scary but will probably make you laugh more.

Calidad/tiempo: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Comedia negra con cuidadísimas tomas y movimientos de cámara, que podría pasar por un capítulo especial de “Mil maneras de morir” no apto para sensibles.
Por suerte las escenas no son a traición, sino que todas las visiones de sangre, vísceras y demás están convenientemente avisadas para que los espectadores más impresionables puedan cerrar los ojos a tiempo.
Está basada en un relato corto de Stephen King que no he leído, así que no sé a quién atribuirle el mérito de los muy diferentes y originales decesos.
Es divertidísima y súper desagradable. Otra que estoy deseando que pongan en streaming para volver a ver.
