Why 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
Best for anyone who believes we're not alone and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. Same wavelength as Alien: Romulus.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

People from various walks of life find themselves held captive in a desolate area surrounding a secret government installation rumored to contain extraterrestrial life
