Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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 anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and people ready for a good cry. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked The Madness of King George or Gerald's Game? This is a good next one. It's about loss, handled with care rather than melodrama.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
After her young son accidentally drowns, a woman has a breakdown and is finally placed in a mental hospital. After her release, her husband takes her for a weekend at a secluded country mansion, hoping to help her recover. However, things at the mansion aren't quite what they seem to be, the couple begin to feel an uneasy and oppressive presence, and the mother starts to see things that may, or may not, be hallucinations.
