The Longlegs director's next movie looks... Funny?
After Longlegs proved a huge hit for director Osgood Perkins, his upcoming Stephen King adaptation The Monkey looks like it will take the director in a shocking, and promising, new direction. Now that the dust has settled on the sleeper hit success of Longlegs, it is fair to say that director Osgood Perkins does not have the hallmarks of a blockbuster helmer.
Not only were Perkins’ earlier efforts anathema to mainstream viewers, they weren’t even all that popular with critics. Even reviewers called out Perkins’ movies for their opaque plots and plodding pacing, which made the critical and commercial success of Longlegs a welcome shock. Not only was Longlegs’ twist ending one of the scariest horror moments of 2024, but the movie earned a staggering $108 million at the box office on a budget of under $10 million.
Osgood Perkins’ The Monkey looks all the more exciting and unpredictable thanks to this wonky, surreally comic tone.
