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
Aimed squarely at fans of swords, quests and kingdoms and anyone who enjoys a good scare. A proper quest, with a world big enough to get lost in.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

The Most Dangerous Game formula gets a monstrous twist as the mythical Hydra turns the tables on a group of wealthy human-hunters. Kidnapped along with three ex-convicts, former Marine Tim Nolan is transported to a deserted island where the super rich pay a fortune to hunt human prey. But this island isn't exactly deserted; it's actually home to Hydra the Beast!
