If all this does not make you feel much expectation, let the brand new teaser trailer above push you over the finish line.
The monkey released by neon (the same company behind the distribution of Long Earlier this summer), and with the studio that releases its latest genre function in theaters last weekend – Tilman Singer’s Cuckoo – they decide to include a special first look at Osgood Perkins’ Upcoming Stephen King film . It is obvious that it is more “teaser” than “trailer”, but despite its short length it makes a surprisingly good job of illustrating an outrageous tone.
An adaptation of the story with the same name (which is included in Stephen King Omnibus 1985 Skeleton herd , The monkey tells the story of identical twin brothers (Theo James ) that grows foreign in adulthood after a traumatic childhood involving a number of deaths that seemed to result from the actions from an evil toy sup. Based on the gore splatter and damaged circus music in the trailer, it doesn’t seem like the film will be short in horror, but the entertaining shot of James that removes its glasses and the shape of them left in blood on the face suggests it There will also be some dark laughs .
In addition to Theo James’s star -studded horror movies also stars Tatiana Mashlany Christian Convery, Elijrä Colin O’Brien, Rohan Campbell and Sarah Levy, and that secretly completed production earlier this year after The development was announced in May 2023 .
