The Monkey

"With brisk storytelling efficiency and a playful spirit, 'The Monkey' delivers a Stephen King adaptation like no other. Perkins pushes back against logic in favor of entertaining midnight madness, and death has never been funnier or gorier as a result. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)" 

"It’s strongest when it abandons its search for meaning and does a silly dance in the face of Death itself. A dry, mocking one though it might be, The Monkey is ultimately just a laugh." 

"Perkins has given his own brand of Tarantinoism while basically crafting an elevated Final Destination story. What more could you want? (...) Rating: 7 (out of 10)" 

"Perkins honors King’s work by keeping the humor and the carnage shoulder to shoulder for the entirety of 'The Monkey’s' ripping 98 minutes. (...) Rating: 9 (out of 10)" 

"Osgood Perkins lurches between splatter set pieces that winkingly telegraph their inhumanity and a story he then has the temerity to assume we’ll be invested in" 

"You might think you know Osgood Perkins, but 'The Monkey' is about to prove you wrong (...) a vicious and hysterical spectacle of blood and brain matter that’ll make you laugh, gasp, gag, and even think." 

"Where 'Longlegs' felt truly fresh and revelatory, this much shabbier follow-up can't escape the stench of pastiche — and not a terribly unique or clever one, at that. (...) Rating: 5 (out of 10)"
