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
If you count yourself among fans of stories set among the stars and fans of close encounters, this one's for you. Much of it plays out in space, so the scale is part of the thrill. Same wavelength as Alien: Romulus or Nope. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 13 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

After a UFO sighting, a mysterious phantom in a bizarre outfit starts attacking people in San Fernando Valley.
