Stephen King’s Adaptation Of ‘The Monkey’ Serves Up An Existentialist Anti-Faith Film

(REVIEW) When the characters discover the monkey can kill people, they start trying to figure out how it works, to discover its rules so they can play the game and win.

And it’s when characters accept death and its pointless randomness that the carnage stops and reconciliation occurs.
