Longlegs director Osgood Perkins has certainly found success with the horror film, leading its distributor to pick up another horror title that did very well on Kickstarter, as well as a new Steven Soderbergh horror flick too. And clearly Perkins has no intention of trying out any other genres for the time being, as his next film is the aforementioned The Monkey, which just got its first trailer yesterday – you can check that out below.

It’s just a short teaser trailer, set to some slightly distorted circus music, all while a toy monkey that plays on a tiny snare drum performs a little solo, leading up to one of the film’s stars Theo James being covered in a whole lot of blood.
