The Monkey is a 2025 Canadian-American horror film directed by Osgood Perkins, based on a Stephen King short story of the same name. Starring Theo James in a dual role as adult twin brothers, the film follows a cursed wind-up monkey toy that brings violent death to everyone around it whenever its cymbals clang.

What is The Monkey about?

Brothers Bill and Hal stumble upon a forgotten relic from their father's past — a battered wind-up monkey toy gathering dust in the attic. Almost immediately, people near them begin dying in sudden, grotesque ways. Desperate to stop the carnage, the twins discard the toy and try to rebuild their separate lives, drifting apart as the years pass. But when the monkey resurfaces decades later, the brothers are pulled back together, forced to confront a childhood trauma they never fully understood and a curse that refuses to stay buried.

Cast & crew

Theo James carries the film in a demanding dual performance as both Bill and Hal across different life stages. Tatiana Maslany brings grounded intensity as a woman drawn into the brothers' nightmare. The ensemble also includes Adam Scott, Elijah Wood, and Christian Convery, with Osgood Perkins — son of Anthony Perkins and an increasingly distinctive voice in prestige horror — directing with his signature slow-burn unease.

Context & significance

For Persian-speaking diaspora audiences who grew up with horror as a shared cinematic language — from classic genre nights to weekend movie rituals — The Monkey offers a polished, English-language fright film with full Persian dubbing available on K-Time, making it equally accessible to those who prefer to watch in Persian and those comfortable with the original. Adapted from a Stephen King story, it sits in the tradition of cursed-object horror: The Monkey's Paw, It, Annabelle — a genre that travels well across cultures because dread of inherited evil is universal. The 2025 release brought renewed attention to Osgood Perkins as a filmmaker, and its dark humor and graphic deaths give it a tone that rewards genre fans looking for something with teeth.
