I watched The Monkey earlier.

Good grief, what the fuck was that? Did they try to make a French surrealist film in American horror movie form? Consistent tone? Consistent anything? Who needs that? It was like a Twilight Zone episode blended with Evil Dead II combined with Top Secret.

I have no idea what to make of that film. It made me laugh a few times. It made me cringe a few. I have not the first clue what the filmmakers were trying to achieve there. It feels like a story told around a campfire except by someone mildly drunk, but you never see the fire nor the raconteur.

All I can say about it is that I don’t feel like it was a waste of time to watch it, but I also can’t really recommend it to anyone else. Its rating is “what in the hell.”
