Echo Chamber - 366 - Part Three (The Monkey - Full Review)
You might want to turn on the lights for 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP as things get jumpy!!!
It took a few extra weeks, BUT we now go full on with our look at 'The Monkey' and have the GREAT Edward J Douglas to breakdown all of (well, a lot of) the VFX work from the film!
We first spoke with Ed back in 'Episode 207' about his short films 'Swiped' and 'U-Run'.
There have been plenty more great interactions, and now we see Ed shine on the BIG screen, which is tremendous!!!
'The Monkey' is written & directed by Osgood Perkins, based on a short story by Stephen King. After stumbling upon their father's (Adam Scott) vintage toy monkey in the attic, twin brothers Hal and Bill (Theo James) witness a string of horrifying deaths unfolding around them. In an attempt to leave the haunting behind, the brothers discard the monkey and pursue separate paths over time. However, when the inexplicable deaths resurface, the brothers are compelled to reconcile and embark on a mission to permanently eliminate the cursed toy.
