The Monkey is the opposite of Longlegs - and most modern horror
Briefly

Osgood Perkins's upcoming film, The Monkey, contrasts sharply with his previous indie success, Longlegs. While Longlegs challenged viewers with its grim, innovative narrative and dark humor, The Monkey caters to traditional horror expectations stemming from Stephen King's iconic story. Perkins's unique directorial approach continues to evolve, blending familiar horror tropes with a distinctly crafted atmosphere. As Neon promotes The Monkey, audiences should brace for a mix of expected thrills and Perkins's trademark unsettling artistry, marking a significant turn in his filmmaking journey.
Perkins may be making a name for himself by giving them exactly what he wants.
The Monkey is, by comparison, closer to what horror fans expect to see in theaters.
