Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
Made for crime-drama fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and horror fans. If you loved The Big Sleep or Blood Simple, start here.
The mood
Scary, dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 53 min.
What might put you off
It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

When a hooded stranger appears in private eye 'Mike' Hama's office with the cryptic challenge "I want you to look for me," Hama is drawn into a string of bizarre serial murders that have Yokohama's police baffled and the city terrified.
