The article focuses on writer-director Osgood "Oz" Perkins and his exploration of familial loss in his upcoming film. Twin brothers Hal and Bill, played by Christian Convery, search through their father's belongings a year after his mysterious disappearance. Perkins reveals that connecting with personal memories—like a pilot's cap or a cursed toy monkey—helps unpack his complex relationship with loss. Influenced by his own experiences with death, especially regarding his parents, Perkins has made films exploring these themes, including adaptations based on literary works.
Maybe all of Oz Perkins' movies are a "way in" to his father... Death has long been a presence in his life.
The Monkey doesn't kill people in the way that Chucky kills people. Its presence is enough... people die in these insane, unexpected, impossible ways.
