The Monkey: A New Horror Film by Osgood Perkins
If you were a fan of Osgood Perkins’ chilling film Longlegs, then you’re in for a treat with his latest horror movie, The Monkey. Based on Stephen King’s short story of the same name, The Monkey follows the story of twin brothers, both portrayed by Theo James, who are desperate to get rid of a cymbal-banging monkey toy that their father bought years ago. Every time the toy starts playing its tune, someone close to the twins meets a gruesome end.
For those eager to watch The Monkey, the film is currently only available in cinemas. Viewers in the UK can purchase tickets through Odeon or Cineworld websites, while those in the US can book seats via AMC Theatres, Fandango, and Atom Tickets.
As for when The Monkey will be available on VOD, in the US, the film is set to be released digitally this Friday, 4 April 2025, just 42 days after its theatrical debut. Distributed by Neon, The Monkey is already proving to be a success, ranking as the studio’s 4th highest-grossing film, surpassing even the Oscar-winning Anora.
In terms of a DVD/Blu-ray release, Neon typically releases physical copies of its films after their VOD debut. Following the pattern of previous releases like Longlegs and Immaculate, we can expect The Monkey to hit stores in the US between 6 May and 30 May 2025. In the UK, the film is likely to be available on DVD and Blu-ray in late May or early June 2025.
For streaming options, US viewers can anticipate The Monkey arriving on Hulu, following the release of DVD and Blu-ray copies. The timeline for streaming release will depend on the film’s box office success, with a potential arrival on Hulu around July 2025. In the UK, The Monkey is expected to stream on Prime Video in the fall of 2025.
Overall, The Monkey promises to be another spine-tingling horror experience from Osgood Perkins, with a captivating story and eerie atmosphere that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
