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.
