Fortunately, Perkins was informed before production onThe Monkeybegan.

What if it was a drum?

‘I was like, ‘Hey, that’s awesome.

The drum is better.’

The drum is like a marching drum.

It’s like, ‘Drum roll, kindly!’

I prefer it!"

The ‘Longlegs’ director is back to terrorize you and he’s brought Theo James this time.

Moreover, although not legally required, Perkins also adjusted the setting of King’s story.

The Monkeyputs a slew of people inhilariously gruesome peril.

While its stars face this evil through delightfully playful performances, the enemy remains stoic.

At least, his face is unmoving.

When the music and drumroll cease, you’ve got the option to expect an incoming death.

King took to social media to offer his praise for Perkins’ film.

“You’ve never seen anything like THE MONKEY,” King postedon his Threads account.

“It’s batshit insane.

As someone who has indulged in batshittery from time to time, I say that with admiration.
