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
- Tailor-made for anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead and anyone looking to switch off and smile. Low effort, high reward: just press play. Same wavelength as The Rocky Horror Picture Show or Love and Monsters.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 30 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 1960: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Aldo and his girlfriend Lucy reopen an abandoned opera house, but find out that the place is inhabited by a group of Phantoms.
