The Monkey

by

In an unprecedented move, NEON is generously offering Osgood Perkins’ movie titled “The Monkey” for screening in churches nationwide alongside traditional theaters. Authorized religious institutions can submit their screening requests via the website God’s Bowling Strikes Tonight. At the film’s debut, Perkins shared that the title originated from a comment made to him about mass deaths, saying “When many people die at once, ‘God’s bowling strikes tonight.’

The website’s title says, “Pass on The Monkey to Your Group,” and it references the well-known Bible passage from Revelation 6:8, which goes, “I saw a pale horse, and its rider was Death, followed by Hades. They were granted power over a quarter of the earth to cause death through war, famine, disease, and wild animals.” Beneath this, the text continues with:

The site invites you to share “The Monkey” with your community, while also mentioning the famous Bible verse from Revelation 6:8 about Death and Hades. It then adds that these figures were given power over a quarter of the earth to cause death through various means like war, famine, disease, and wild animals.

The website encourages visitors to distribute “The Monkey” among their congregation, while concurrently referencing Revelation 6:8, which describes the horseman of Death and Hades being granted authority over a quarter of the earth to bring about death through war, famine, disease, and wild animals.

The site asks you to share “The Monkey” with your group while reminding you of the spooky story in Revelation 6:8 about Death and Hades taking control over a quarter of the earth, causing destruction through war, hunger, sickness, and wild animals.

The website suggests bestowing “The Monkey” upon your group, echoing the ominous tale from Revelation 6:8, where Death and Hades were given dominion over a quarter of the earth, leading to destruction through war, famine, disease, and beasts of the wild.

The site invites you to spread “The Monkey” among your friends, while giving a wink and a nod to the chilling story in Revelation 6:8 about Death and Hades causing mayhem over a quarter of the earth using weapons like war, famine, disease, and wild animals.

For the first time ever, a significant movie is now being shown simultaneously in churches and cinemas nationwide across America. Let’s thank the Lord for this divine present bestowed upon us by the Cinema Deities, and praise Osgood Perkins for offering us such a heartfelt gift on our beautiful planet. Encourage your congregation to join together and witness this blessed cinematic experience; click below to watch The Monkey.

When applying through institutions, three questions are posed:

1. The first question queries about why your congregation would be fortunate to experience the blessing of “The Monkey.”
2. The second question probes whether salvation stems from faith or movies.
3. Lastly, it asks what the greatest sin might be. The only acceptable response is using a phone during a movie in a theater.

Whether this is meant sincerely or in jest remains unclear; personal contact information is not requested when submitting the application. It’s possible that NEON has organized screenings at specific churches and cathedrals, but this isn’t explicitly stated.

NEON and ‘The Monkey’s Marketing Campaign

Known for their innovative and frequently captivating marketing strategies, NEON has made a name for itself, as seen in the gradual unveiling of Oz Perkins’ previous film, Longlegs, produced by the studio. Following this trend, the latest campaign for The Monkey continues to showcase NEON’s ingenuity. In fact, the trailer for The Monkey has become the most-watched independent horror film trailer ever released, according to their official statement.

As a cinema enthusiast, I can’t help but be thrilled about the explosive debut of “The Monkey” trailer. In just a week, it has broken records and is now the most-watched independent horror film trailer ever. The worldwide anticipation for Perkins’ upcoming horror movie was palpable, and it didn’t disappoint! Within 24 hours of its release online, it accumulated over 43 million views globally. It swiftly surpassed 100 million views in the first 72 hours, and as I write this, it has soared past 109 million views across all platforms combined. This is a horror event you definitely don’t want to miss!

In a natural and easy-to-understand manner,

Neon has distributed its second film from Perkins, titled “The Monkey,” following the tremendous success of “Longlegs.” They will be collaborating once more with the writer/director to unveil his upcoming project, “Keeper,” in October 2025. You can catch “The Monkey” in cinemas (and churches) starting February 21, 2025.

The movie features Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, Christian Convery, Colin O’Brien, Rohan Campbell, Sarah Levy, and Elijah Wood in its cast. This production is overseen by James Wan (known for The Conjuring, Saw) and Michael Clear under Atomic Monster; Dave Caplan (Babylon) from C2 Motion Picture Group, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Insidious) for Range Select, and Chris Ferguson (Longlegs, Child’s Play) for Odd Fellows. The financing of the film is handled by C2.
