Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little 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
Best for anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and horror fans. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Shelve it next to Clayface or Wes Craven's New Nightmare.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 13 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1958: an older pace and style.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

When master monster make-up man Pete Dumond is fired by the new bosses of American International studios, he uses his creations to exact revenge.
