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
- Aimed squarely at horror fans and animation lovers. A good one for a late-night scare. Same wavelength as The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 10 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.
Backwater is doomed by the regular visits of the undertaker and its dwellers blame a tramp.
