The Monkey
When twin brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey, a series of outrageous deaths tear their family apart. Twenty-five years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree forcing the estranged brothers to confront the cursed toy.
The central premise is a cursed wind-up monkey driving a series of killings; fear, dread, and the horror mechanism are core to the viewing experience. Removing horror would fundamentally alter the film, even though family drama/mystery appear as secondary elements.
Best for viewers looking for a low-gore horror movie.
