Longlegs director says he's going to the "extremes," says we can expect "explosive gore" with new Stephen King adaptation: "There’s a lot of mess"


The Monkey hits theaters in February

The movie, based on the Stephen King short story of the same name, follows two brothers named Bill and Hal (both played by Theo James) who find a cymbal-banging monkey toy belonging to their father in the attic, starting a chain reaction of gruesome deaths. The brothers discard the monkey and go their separate ways, but are forced to reconcile years later when a series of inexplicable deaths begin to occur. The cast includes Tatiana Maslany, Elijah Wood, Christian Convery, Colin O'Brien, Rohan Campbell, and Sarah Levy.
