Osgood Perkins has chased his breakout with The Monkey , a film as grisly as it is gleeful.

Despite marketing that leans into the movieâs frights, The Monkey is more of a horror comedy.

Theo James does admirable double duty as twins Hal and Bill ( Sweet Tooth star Christian Convery is also fantastic as younger versions of the characters.

The Monkey hits theaters February 21 .

The movie is about accepting death as something both mundane and inevitable.

The monkey randomly decides who itâll eliminate next, because death is random.

Itâs grim, but itâs the truth, and to have a movie with so much outrageous death also be about acceptance of death.
