Two twin brothers discover a mysterious wind-up monkey, and its presence brings a string of bizarre deaths that strains their family. Years later, the toy resurfaces, forcing the estranged brothers to face the danger again and reckon with the past they tried to leave behind.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like gruesome, absurd horror with dark humor and don’t mind a story that can feel uneven; Not for you if you want sustained scares, subtle comedy, or strong emotional depth.
