The Monkey

"A glorious horror romp."

"A ridiculous, broad, pitch-black horror-comedy."

"A grating misfire."

"A ham-handed, lurchingly obvious mess."

"It’s a good time, but not a great time."

"(An) energetic but aggravating mess."

"Perkins pushes back against logic in favour of entertaining midnight madness."

"This sh*t is bananas."

"(A) disappointing series of missed opportunities."

"Strikes a great mix of gore and comedy."

"Perkins embraces his silly side in (this) gory, surprisingly existential horror comedy."

"Don’t expect the true terror of... Longlegs or King’s source story. Do expect plentiful gags to make you, well, gag."

"A decent enough time, even if it feels a little half-baked."

"A Looney Tunes-esque spectacle of quick and dirty violence that hits like a punchline."

"Perkins doesn’t have the same mastery of comedy that he does horror."

"The real discomfort isn’t in these slapstick interludes but in the melodramatic plot."

"The director’s penchant for head trauma is in full effect here, as is his attention to visceral detail that’s both hilarious and gross."
