Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for zombie fans and anyone who likes comedy with a point. The undead are the backdrop; how people treat each other is the real story. A good follow-up to What We Do in the Shadows or The Return of the Living Dead. The jokes have targets, and it hits most of them.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Documents the daily lives of a small community of the living deceased who make their home in Los Angeles.
