Director Osgood Perkins is following his eerie serial killer flick Longlegs from last year by focusing on a different type of murderer: a wind-up toy monkey with a drum.

An adaptation of Stephen King’s short story from 1980, the classic cymbal imagery is adjusted for an ape with a vicious smile and piercing evil eyes. (Lexi Lane)
