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 people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Keeps you leaning forward. Liked Abigail or Family Plot? This is a good next one.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 15 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something to relax to.

A spoiled rich girl hatches a plot with her hippie friends to "kidnap" her so they can get a large ransom from her wealthy father.
