#the-monkey — Public Fediverse posts

Got around to watching 'The Monkey' last night, which I expected to be just mid, given the low ratings, but ended up hugely enjoying it! Apparently, Osgood Perkins approached the film as a personal exploration of using absurdity to dispel petty dark stuff, inspired by the stark ways he lost both parents. Not in a nihilistic way; more like banishing the heaviness through dark humour. I know this is a very specific angle that, understandably, might not appeal to everyone, but for me it clicked.

The movie is gory and unhinged, and the dry humour fits well into the story. Generally, horror-comedy is a pretty hard genre to nail, but Perkins managed to find an ideal balance here. It's pretty different in tone to 'Longlegs' and to Stephen King's original short story, but I think it justifiably got King's blessings regardless.

Redaktionelt

Vi har ikke lært en skid af forrige afsnit, og også dette afsnit er optaget over Zoom. Som et ekstra benspænd ringede en af os ind på mobil fra et sommerhus i det nordjyske, og der kan derfor være enkelte udfald i lyden. Vi har prøvet at udbedre det i redigeringen, og håber ikke, det forstyrrer forståelsen af samtalen.

Denne gang har vi brugt musik af Matt Oakley (The incredible shrinking Larry) og Dee Yan-Key (Finis Comoediae). Begge er tilgængelige fra Free Music Archive under CC-Attribution-licensen.

The Monkey (2025)

finally, finally someone has had the guts to adapt a King story as a comedy-horror for the first time since Creepshow (?) and it feels so right

just a joy start to finish if you enjoy a good squelchy comedy horror a la Ready Or Not or Bodies Bodies Bodies in recent years. while I enjoyed Osgood Perkins' Longlegs well enough last year, this is great and I'm already sure will be on my shortlist for best horror of the year. easy A from me
