The beginning of 2025 has already brought us a collection of excellent horror films in every shape and size — from the savage and silly Companionto the genre-transcending vampire flick Sinnersto the delightfully gory The Monkey. Based on a Stephen King short story of the same name, The Monkeywas originally published in Galley magazine in 1980. Now it's been adapted into a feature film full of "gonzo and gory displays of ultra-violent death," as Mashable's film editor put it. King himself called it "batshit insane," and that's saying something.

If you missed the cymbal-banging monkey murderer in theaters, now's your chance to catch the gruesome horror comedy on the small screen. Here's everything you need to know to watch The Monkeyat home.

What is The Monkeyabout?

Written and directed by Osgood Perkins (Longlegs), The Monkey follows twin brothers Hal and Bill Shelburn (both played by The White Lotus's Theo James, who find their father's old monkey toy in the attic. It's not just a quirky toy; it's a cursed drum-playing monkey that kills without mercy anytime his crank is turned.

Is The Monkeyworth watching?

The Monkey brought home an impressive $68.4 million at the worldwide box office when it launched in theaters in February. Critics love the sick sense of humor and stomach-churning gore, including Mashable's own film editor, Kristy Puchko. "All in all, it’s a vicious and hysterical spectacle of blood and brain matter that’ll make you laugh, gasp, gag, and even think," she writes in her review of the film. She adds that it feels "like a challenge, as if the monkey — be it his unblinking gaze or the truly outrageous gore he unfurls — dares you to look away."

Audiences are a bit more torn, with only a 57 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, as opposed to the 79 percent critics rating. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide.
