The Monkey is the latest horror film produced by James Wan, based on a short story by Stephen King.
This movie mixes dark humor with horror, taking you from disgust to laughter and then to deep reflection. One of its highlights is the strong cast, including Elijah Wood in a mysterious role that keeps you on edge.

Of course, a horror film featuring a cursed doll comes with plenty of scares, suspense, and tense moments—and The Monkey doesn’t disappoint. But unlike other films with creepy dolls, like Chucky or Annabelle, this one goes deeper. It explores themes of life, death, destiny, and powerful questions that stay with you long after the movie ends.
One of those ideas, mentioned by Theo James in an interview with ‘De Estreno’, is that no one can control death. Watch our exclusive interview, and let us know your thoughts on this unique and unsettling but incredible film!
