Review: The Monkey (2025)

Image
Darkly funny and grimly gory, The Monkey  captures the weird whimsy of Stephen King's source material--a short story published in the anthology Skeleton Crew back in 1985. In the hands of Osgood Perkins (Son of Anthony, and therefore part of a horror dynasty), the first hour of this twisted tale speeds by, with the audience excitedly anticipating another monkey-related massacre. The kill scenes are played for laughs, but long-time horror heads will nod in appreciation at the lengths the movie goes to in order to make them as memorable as possible.  Unfortunately, The Monkey also captures something else that's an occasional hallmark of Stephen King's work, and that's third act problems. Many of King's stories have compelling premises that don't quite pay off in the final act, and that's the case here, too, even though Perkins has adapted the screenplay himself is largely working from his own palate by the film's conclusion. Adapting a short story into 9...

Review: Night Has a Thousand Eyes (1948)

Image
Night Has a Thousand Eyes  is a fantastic 1948 supernatural film noir from Paramount that combines southern gothic atmosphere with the paranormal and the feeling of a tightening noose, which is something of a noir trademark. Edward G. Robinson stars as John Triton, aka "The Mental Wizard," a stage fortune teller who relies on parlor tricks and the aid of his associates to fool the audiences of his shows. When he starts to have real visions of the future, his newfound ability reveals tragic implications. Does he himself hold the power of life and death in his hands? And if so, can he escape this "gift" that he neither asked for nor wants? It's difficult to talk about the film without referencing Stephen King's The Dead Zone , which seems to have been highly influenced by Night Has a Thousand Eyes . Though the basic characters are different, the story similarities are too numerous to name, and this film's origins as a novel written by Cornell Woolrich, a w...

Image
(The following interview was conducted via email from June 15-26, 2020.) Josh Jabcuga: Last year here at Cereal At Midnight I named your book, He Who Types Between the Rows: A Decade of Horror Drive-in , as my personal favorite of 2019 ( Click here to read Josh’s review ). I said the book deserved to be ranked up there with The Psychotronic Video Guide to Film, Nightmare USA , and Paperbacks from Hell . Whelp, here we are at the halfway point of 2020, and I've still got your book on my mind! I've been following your work for quite awhile actually, but for those who may not be familiar with you, would you mind telling readers a bit about yourself and He Who Types Between The Rows ? Mark Sieber: Thanks, Josh. I really appreciate this. I've been a horror fan all my life. I've watched thousands of movies and I've read thousands of books in the genre. I had some success as a moderator of message boards. This was before the onslaught of social media....
