Penned by Osgood Perkins, who also directs the film, “The Monkey” follows twin brothers Hal and Bill as they stumble upon their father’s old monkey toy in the attic. However, their innocent discovery triggers a series of horrifying events, leading to gruesome deaths all around them. As they attempt to rid themselves of the sinister toy, the brothers find themselves torn apart by growing tensions. But when the killings resume, they must come together once more to confront the malevolent force lurking within the monkey.
In addition to Perkins, James Wan serves as a producer alongside Atomic Monster partner Michael Clear, as well as Jason Cloth and Dave Caplan from C2 Motion Picture Group.
