The Geekz bring another terrifying entry to our 31 Days of Horror marathon with The Monkey (2025) – the brand-new Stephen King adaptation that brings one of his creepiest short stories to life. When twin brothers discover their father’s old cymbal-clapping monkey toy, they soon realize every time the toy claps, someone dies. What follows is a chilling spiral of death, family secrets, and supernatural terror.
In our review, we break down the story, atmosphere, and scares that make The Monkey one of 2025’s most talked-about horror releases. We’ll cover the performances from the cast, including Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, Elijah Wood, and Christian Convery, and how they bring King’s haunting story to the big screen. Does The Monkey stand as one of the best Stephen King adaptations, or does it fall flat like so many before it? Find out as we dive into the killer toy horror classic in the making.
