The Monkey (Osgood Perkins, February 21, 2025) Movie • Page 2

Pick me up and we can hit Alexions afterwards.

 

Pretty funny stuff.

 

Seeing mixed reviews for this. Seems like people who were skeptical of Longlegs will probably hate this, and its fans will probably enjoy this.

 

Interesting, I feel like I'm getting the opposite vibes lol it seems like this will be intentionally silly, where as I feel like what holds Longlegs back is its desire to be taken seriously while obviously being pretty silly/over-the-top, to the point that it's inconsistent and convoluted.

I am mostly just hoping this sticks to one vibe and isn't overwritten (the marketing makes it seem like it's going to be very knowingly dumb, bloody fun)

 

this

 

This looks like a lot of fun

 

THE MONKEY 2.10 RSVP Form

only six cities available, unfortunately

 

Thanks! I was going to try to go an early screening Wednesday night but if I can get in Monday, even better.

 

this was better than longlegs, i think

 

Dipping out until this hits digital. Hope everyone enjoys!

 

Yeah this ruled

 

as an lh (longlegs hater) i went into this with incredibly low expectations. ended up having a blast. funnier than i thought it would be (genuinely don't think there was a single person at my screening who didn't laugh when the aunt ran into the for sale sign (rip)). he's a lot better at ripping off final destination than he is at ripping off silence of the lambs. wish more dumb 'generational trauma is traumatic, generationally' horror movies knew how to have fun with it like this or smile 2*

 

Better the Longlegs and worth seeing in theaters for sure.

 

I wish I could see a single bit of praise for this that doesn't involve also shitting on Longlegs. honestly just bums me out a little lol

still looking forward to seeing this next week

 

Hmm, keep us posted what the surprise is.

 

It’ll be a teaser for Together

 

Brie says in that clip that the Together teaser will appear before the movie plays, so I wouldn’t assume that’s it. Though she also may have misspoke because I can’t remember the last time a director went out of their way to film a video for Twitter to announce the theatrical premiere of a trailer lol

 

Fair point, but NEON really only has that or Perkins’ next film to tease, but I don’t know if that’s nearly as ready. But yeah I shouldn’t assume.

 

Yeah this cleared up absolutely nothing. Lol

 

The after credits extra is a teaser for Perkins’ next film, Keeper.
