I didn't know what to expect going into The Monkey's Paw, but I was not disappointed! The film basically takes the classic tale, turns it on it's head and expands it into a twisted, often surprising story. The tone is just eerie. Throughout the entire movie, there's this building tension or dark energy that never fully lets up. I couldn't fully relax until the very end, but even then I was left with chills.
The performances were great too. C.J. Thomason makes a great lead and Stephen Lang is creepier than ever. His character was my favorite- so mysterious and unpredictable. You will not believe Corbin Bleu's performance. I didn't even recognize him at first. He actually does a great job with his character in this film.
I won't give away any of the surprises, but suffice it to say this is a quality, surprising, dark and eerie film.
