“After stumbling upon their father’s vintage toy monkey in the attic, twin brothers Hal and Bill witness a string of horrifying deaths unfolding around them,” the synopsis reads. “In an attempt to leave the haunting behind, the brothers opt to discard the monkey and pursue separate paths over time.

Perkins wrote the screenplay for The Monkey. Perkins’ past filmography includes 2015’s The Blackcoat’s Daughter, 2016’s I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, 2020’s Gretel & Hansel, and, most recently, 2024’s Longlegs starring Nicolas Cage.

Here’s this monkey that doesn’t do anything. It’s not M3GAN. It doesn’t attack. It’s evil just in its existence. Things happen around it for no better reason than they do. Its presence makes people die in insane ways…I’ve had people die in truly, deeply insane ways.
