Title: The Blockbuster Gore Fest: Monkey's Latest Trailer Smashes Records

Last week, we received a fresh take on the chilling and humorous horror flick, titled "The Monkey." This trailer left many viewers shocked and intrigued, contributing to its immense popularity. Neon, the studio behind the project, is now celebrating its victory as "The Monkey" trailer broke records within the indie horror scene.

According to Neon's announcement, the trailer for "The Monkey" now holds the title of having the most-viewed independent horror film trailer ever. In just 24 hours of its release, the trailer reached an astounding 43 million views worldwide. Within 72 hours, its viewership surged beyond 100 million. As of Neon's press release, the view count has risen to an impressive 109 million on all platforms. Notably, it managed to outshine the viewership of trailers for "Smile," "The Black Phone," and the second trailer of the indie horror film "Talk to Me." It even surpassed the views for the two trailers of the current horror sensation, "Nosferatu."

Trailer view counts are an excellent way for studios to exhibit the hype behind their films. In "The Monkey's" case, its success can be attributed to a few key factors. Firstly, it is based on a Stephen King short story, adding a layer of credibility and anticipation from King's dedicated fanbase. Secondly, Osgood Perkins, who directed the well-received Neon film "Longlegs" last year, serves as the director. That movie turned out to be Neon's best theatrical release to date, thanks to its eerie and suspenseful marketing.

The "The Monkey" trailer presents an entertaining blend of dark humor and slapstick violence with Theo James' struggle to prevent people from meeting their untimely end at the hands of the mischievous little drummer monkey. This engaging mix has undoubtedly contributed to the high view count.

Now, if you're a horror fan, you might want to mark your calendars. "The Monkey" will hit theaters on February 21, 2025. Keep an eye out for our upcoming review!

Stay tuned for the latest updates on Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe, and Doctor Who releases.
