The Monkey

Rating:

Description: 

The twin brothers Hal and Bill Shelburn find an old wind-up monkey among the belongings of their father. Every time it plays its drums, somebody dies in a brutal and often wacky way. After a series of deaths, the brothers decide to bury the monkey and go on about their lives. 25 years later, Hal is on a trip with his estranged son, Petey, when the money suddenly appears again, and he has to take care of it. 

Review:

I'm going to be honest: I did not like this movie.

At the beginning there were some cut away jokes that were quite funny, but after a while the humor became grading. Especially when it jumped in on moments that I think were actually supposed to be emotional or serious in some way. The characters were acting and talking more like aliens wearing skin suits than actual human beings. Also, the thing that drew me in was the over the top ways the monkey would kill people, and I have to say that was disappointing too. The effects all looked very terrible in my opinion.

Maybe Horror Comedies are just not for me.
