Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a panning from critics, 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
Made for horror fans. If you loved The Exorcist or Fear Street: 1994, start here.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1964: an older pace and style.

Purif is distraught when her lover is betrothed to another. When she summons the old ways to curse him, her erratic behavior is interpreted as demonic possession, and the villagers turn against her with physical and sexual violence.
