    The Monkey

    ★★★½

    I went in really wanting to like The Monkey, and to it's credit I was entertained. You see, there are many kinds of Stephen King stories. The Monkey is one of the goofy ones. Which wasn't what I was expecting from the director of Longlegs.
    I was expecting something atmospheric and got something closer to Final Destination, which isn't a bad thing. Both stories share a lot in common, it's just goofier and over the top in a kind of…

    It's a slow burn, so make sure you're in the mood for that before watching it.
