<em>'The Monkey'</em> has a great concept and I enjoyed the wacky nature of it, I did almost lose interest in the human characters towards the end though. That isn't the best sign given the short 90 minute run time, but the end does come when desired so that saves it. Theo James is pretty good in this, for sure the most I've liked seeing him.

A Satisfyingly Hilarious Gory film and a must-see for fans of Comedic Horror.
