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
- If you count yourself among anyone who loves a world with magic in it and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead, this one's for you. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them. If you loved Hereditary or Midsommar, start here.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 25 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A woman who is about to die calls the town's priest and hands him a scapulary, saying that she knows of its great powers. Anybody who does not believe in them will end up dead.
