The actor-turned-filmmaker – who you may recognise from, yes, ‘Legally Blonde’ – has directed a new film about an evil mechanical monkey. He speaks to Annabel Nugent about grief, his mother’s tragic death on 9/11,

Filmmakers tinker with the question of tone from project to project, many not as much as they should. But writer-director Osgood Perkins has no problem with tonal adjustment.

Plenty of horror movies have found their way into churches, but The Monkey has become the first ever film to screen in them and theatres simultaneously across America. All you've got to do is fill out a form to have the horrifying little nuisance pay a visit.

With “The Monkey,” there's flashes of what makes director Oz Perkins and original storyteller Stephen King so interesting.

Osgood Perkins' follow-up to 2024 horror hit 'Longlegs' is Stephen King adaptation, 'The Monkey'. But will the horror comedy be streaming?

The horror filmmaker follows his smash Nicolas Cage/Maika Monroe-starrer with this adaptation of a Stephen King story, headlined by Theo James and Tatiana Maslany.

"The Monkey," which Perkins adapted from Stephen King’s 1980 short story, doesn’t build on the earlier film’s promise. On the contrary, it’s a ham-handed, lurchingly obvious mess, without the glimmer of human interest that even a sensationalist horror film needs.

The ‘Longlegs’ director returns with a gruesome horror film, based on a Stephen King short story, about a wind-up toy that unleashes random acts of violence.
