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 likes their romance with a bite and anyone who loves a world with magic in it. Vampire lore, given its own spin. A good follow-up to Near Dark. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 19 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1965: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

Episodic film in which a masked hero combats a trio of classic monsters.
