Movie Pass Adventures: The Monkey

If you like toy monkeys, and you like ridiculous amounts of blood, then this is the film for you!

A long, thin image taken from a scene in The Monkey. Theo James' face, covered in blood except for two rings around his eyes, is in the center. Most of the image is the curtains behind him, also covered with blood.

I can’t imagine anyone wanting to live in Stephen King’s Maine. That place is scary… but it does give us some wacky movies. This is one of those movies that’s so violent and gory and goofy that it moves past horror and straight into cartoon. It’s not great, and it kind of fizzles at the end, but it’s a pretty fun ride. BONUS: features an Adam Scott cameo!

The titular monkey from The Monkey, shown in three tones. Black with red highlights, with white teeth and eyes. His right arm is raised and his right hand holds a drumstick. The background is solid black.
Turn the key and see what happens.

This is my second simian-themed movie of the year. I thought about basing the parody poster on one for Better Man, but those are all pretty boring so I went a different way.

A parody poster for The Monkey based on the original poster for Toy Story.
I guess I also could have used the poster for The Tin Drum.

It does the same “violence so extreme and silly that it becomes a live action cartoon” thing as The Monkey. […]
