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 enjoys a good scare and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. A good follow-up to Audition.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Shocking scenes are revealed in the Nagasaki Women's prison.
