Osgood Perkins is no stranger to gritty storytelling and it shows with his new film adaptation of "The Monkey" by Stephen King. He's definitely not afraid to be bold - whether in the narrative or the physical effects used to kill people in gory ways. The twist? It all ends up being a meditation on trauma and grief, wrapped in black humor and an unexpected lightness. With his personal experience with death shaping his work, Perkins offers us a delightful take on a typically heavy subject. Just goes to show that sometimes, we can find joy even in the darkest of places! 😄 https://variety.com/2025/f...
