After its debut, the horror movie garnered mainly favorable comments from reviewers and now boasts an approval rating of 77% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 292 critic evaluations.
The publication, The Wrap, described “The Monkey” as a “comic masterpiece of dark humor, with jokes packing such a powerful punch that they might cause an explosion.
From the start, it’s complete chaos and there is a skill in creating innovative methods for surpassing gruesome deaths in a horror film, as stated by the Arizona Republic.
