Description

🚨 FULL SPOILER REVIEW AHEAD! 🚨

Stephen King’s The Monkey has finally made its way to the big screen, but does its mix of horror and dark comedy work? In this episode, we break down the film’s approach, its tone, and whether it successfully delivers scares or just cymbal-clashing chaos. None of us were familiar with the original King story, so we discuss the film purely on its own meritsβ€”does the comedic angle enhance or undercut the horror?

We also feature added reviews from @beardedfilmguy and Aaron from @abhorrormovies, giving us their takes on the film’s execution and whether it sticks the landing.
