Over a year released and not a single review, says something... Okay will drop a quick note. Main point to take from this film: This is NOT The Monkey this the The JOLLY Monkey! While the former gained mixed reviews it at least caused a stir, this movie is just ... meh. Don't know if it was thrown out quick as a ride-along or one of those coincidences in movie releases, but this is most firmly in the cheap indie horror that gets views from tie ins with name, marketing images and shocking stills & clips. Family drama as the extended family of deceased owners arrive at the 'mom+pop' run motel in the sticks. Mom+pop may have had some secrets, including some title-inducing wind-up jolly monkeys. Attendees starting dying in gruesome ways by a giant monkey, furry slasher style I guess... Awkward story with big plot holes means by the time we get the "big twist" it is zero shock but another eye-roll moment. So if you have just watched this thinking it was the Monkey film people were talking about, it was not this is The Jolly Monkey and you need to go watch The Monkey.
