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: Made for people who'll be looking things up afterwards and horror fans. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. A good follow-up to The Revenant or True Grit.
The mood: Scary.
The pace: Tense from early on, at 1 hr 47 min.
What might put you off: It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Based on actual events that occurred in Hokkaido, Japan, 1915. Rimeinzu: Utsukushiki yuusha-tachi tells the story of a group of bear hunters that are tracking a 900 pound brown bear nicknamed Red Spots that is terrorising the area. It attacks and kills men, but it feasts only on women.
