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 anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Shelve it next to Insomnia. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The chilling true story of the "two of a kind" killing cousins, Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi, better known as the Hillside Stranglers.
