Osgood Perkins inverts the horror of Longlegs for a dark comedy take on Stephen Kings The Monkey.
Unfortunately, its one joke that never lands.
Osgood Perkins is having fun these days.
And you know what?
Where he went after that is a mystery.
As a consequence, he admits he developed an oblique and acquired sense of humor.
If so, I suspect few who admired the creepy atmosphere ofLonglegsor evenBlackcoats Daughterwill be laughing along.
There are a lot of spectacularly gruesome death scenes inThe Monkey.
The actors are wading through the corpses to hit their marks.
It is a blood bath fit for the Roman waterworks of Caracalla.
Which might be for the best.
