Unhinged Movie Review: Scary AF Film Streaming on Hulu
If you’re a fan of Stephen King and looking for a scary movie to watch, The Monkey on Hulu is a must-see. This film, originally based on King’s short story from 1980, follows two brothers who encounter a cursed toy monkey that brings death and destruction wherever it goes. The creepy tone of the movie captures the essence of a classic King story, with tension building up as the monkey’s sinister powers unfold.
The casting in The Monkey is top-notch, with Theo James leading as the twins Hal and Bill Sheldburn. The standout performance, however, comes from Christian Convery as the young versions of the brothers. His portrayal of both characters is so distinct that it’s hard to believe it’s the same actor playing both roles. James continues the strong performance as the adult Hal and Bill, each bringing a unique dynamic to the story.
The film strikes a balance between horror and humor, reminiscent of the Final Destination movies. Director Osgood Perkins skillfully weaves in darkly comedic moments, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats while also eliciting some laughs. The Monkey is a thrilling watch that will leave you entertained and spooked in equal measure. So, grab some popcorn, turn off the lights, and get ready for a bone-chilling movie night with The Monkey on Hulu.
