THE MONKEY (2025) Drums Up Comic Carnage [Movie Review]
Osgood Perkin’s THE MONKEY, based on a Stephen King short story, is a devilish delight of gore and gags.

Companion (2025) is a darkly hilarious, fun, crowd-pleaser. Go in blind – avoid the spoiler-field marketing.
The “Speak No Evil” remake may seem unnecessary, with the original available, recent, and in English; the Blumhouse-produced remake is a solid, tense film on its own; with increased character and thrilling sequences of both uncomfortable and terror-filled.
“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is a hilarious legacy sequel that mostly lives up to the original with great characters and production value, albeit with some story issues.
“The Front Room” is a rare miss for A24 with a frustratingly unfocused story, albeit led by a great dark comedy performance by Katheryn Hunter.
AFRAID is dull mishmash of half-thought ideas, executed awkwardly.
The new adaptation of James O’Barr’s graphic novel should have remained buried.
CUCKOO (2024) is a terrifying strange tale from the director of Luz.
Osgood Perkin’s LONGLEGS is a strange supernatural scary serial-killer search.
IN A VIOLENT NATURE is a fascinating revisionist slasher, gory and exciting, but also uncomfortable.
