Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for fans of a good haunting and romantics. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Same wavelength as Play It Again, Sam or Crimson Peak.
- The mood
- Scary, romantic.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 32 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Cantonese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Ling Siu-Cheung, a businessman who cheats on his wife for the very first time, is unaware that the woman he slept with is a vengeful ghost who targets unfaithful men.
