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.
