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
Great for animal lovers and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. An animal steals a fair few scenes. Fans of Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Peeping Tom should feel right at home.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something to relax to.

Panic grips a small community after a tanker truck crashes through a fence at a wild animal park, freeing dozens of dangerous beasts.
