The Monkey

Scary and darkly comic adaptation of Stephen King's short story focuses on a creepy wind up toy monkey that apparently has the ability to cause all manner of grisly deaths. Having lost several of their family members to the monkey's evil power when they were kids, estranged twins Hal and Bill Shelburn (both played by Theo James) are suddenly back in each other's lives-just as Bill plans to use the toy to kill Hal. With Tatiana Maslany, Colin O'Brien, Adam Scott, and Elijah Wood. 98 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
