    Storyline

    Edit
    The film centers on Jake Tilton, who acquires a mystical "monkey's paw" talisman that grants its possessor three wishes. Jake finds his world turned upside down after his first two wishes result in co-worker Tony Cobb being resurrected from the dead. As Cobb pressures Jake into using the final wish to reunite Cobb with his son, his intimidation quickly escalates into relentless murder-- forcing Jake to outwit his psychotic friend and save his remaining loved ones. —monkey

    The Monkey's Paw: Harmless enough re-imagining of a classic tale
    The Monkeys Paw is a tale that has been covered cinematically several times over the years including as far back as the early 30's. It tells the story of a paw that grants wishes but the twist is that it corrupts whatever it provides.

    The original story always told of a parent who wants a deceased child returned from the dead, this version tweeks that slightly but is still loyal to its source material.

    Stephen Lang brings life to the rather dull cast and brings forth a performance only rivalled by his in Don't Breathe (2016)

    Not the best version and a tad slow this is one of those premises where you could do a lot with it but here they fail to do so.

    Perfectly watchable but perhaps should have been somewhat better.

    The Good:

    Stephen Lang

    The Bad: Oddly boring

    Things I learnt from this movie:

    Monkeys Paw would make a great television series!
