Based on a Stephen King short story, The Monkey is Osgood Perkin's latest film. The plot has one foot in the old Monkey's Paw classic short story and the other foot in the "we can't destroy the Golem" territory. I've never seen Longlegs or any of his other films for that matter but I found the kills here to be not only very hard to believe but also way too fast in their, if you'll pardon the pun, execution.
But it has a cool style to it and overall (since I'm a big Stephen King fan) it looks faithful to the material and is fun. This time Wiki got it right, this is black comedy. Or if you prefer, black comedy horror.

F1 - The reviews for F1 are coming in very favorable here/s the trailer for Brad Pitt's new movie out on June 25, he plays an ole-school race car driver returning to the circuit after a 30-year absence. I like it already....
