Osgood Perkins Feels “F***ing Great” About the Vast Differences Between ‘Longlegs’ and ‘The Monkey’

Depending on what kind of horror fan you ask, Osgood Perkins’ 2024 feature, Longlegs, was either one of the best movies they saw over the last year or an overrated piece of cinema. This writer heavily falls inline with the former opinion, but that’s neither here nor there. With his newest film’s arrival just around the corner, the filmmaker is telling fans and haters alike that The Monkey will be starkly different from the Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage-led serial killer thriller that came before it. During a new interview with Empire, Perkins spilled the tea on his Stephen King-adaptation, teasing a “morbidly surreal horror comedy” that will feature some of the bloodiest sequences you’ve seen since The Substance and the talents of Theo James.
