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
Best for people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and anyone who wants a laugh. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Liked Manhattan Murder Mystery? This is a good next one.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1925: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

A general store clerk and aspiring detective investigates a mysterious disappearance that took place quite close to an empty insane asylum.
