First time watch in the cinema
Comedy – Horror – Cursed objects
A wind-up monkey toy that causes mysterious deaths when it’s key is turned.
I went into this film with high hopes as I had been intrigued by it’s trailer. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations.
I could see that it was leaning more towards the comedy aspect of the comedy/horror genre, but the bits I could tell were meant to be the funny moments just didn’t land for me. Having said that, it could just be me, as the audience around me were laughing. It also had this intentional awkwardness that I could see was meant to be humorous, but just made the scenes drag for me, where again others seemed to enjoy it.
I generally found the film boring, where I felt fidgety and found myself checking my watch to see how long was left multiple times!
The best part of the film for me was the opening with Adam Scott and then I soon lost interest.
Would not watch again
