The Monkey (2025) - cursed toys and dark laughs

This week on Rogue Reviews, we're jumping into The Monkey, a horror movie pulled straight from a Stephen King tale. It’s got a cursed toy monkey unleashing chaos and death in ways that are both gory and weirdly hilarious.

The vibe? Imagine Evil Dead’s bloody mess crashing into Cabin in the Woods’ absurd twists. One of us couldn’t get enough of its wild energy and dark laughs. The other? Thought it slogged a bit between the kills.

Theo James shines as Hal, the poor dude tangled up in the monkey’s deadly curse. The story’s loaded with jaw-dropping twists, and the ending? Total insanity.

As always, we kick off with a spoiler-free rundown and then we explore the crazy twists and turns that lead to the finale. If you dig horror that’s equal parts brutal and funny, this one’s for you.
