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
- One for anyone who likes yelling at characters not to go upstairs and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Classic slasher set-up: count who's left standing. A good follow-up to Dressed to Kill or Grindhouse.
- The mood
- Scary and gory.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: expect violence.
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
Several murders have taken place in London. All the victims are prostitutes and the murderer is using the same techniques as Jack the Ripper. Peter Dockerman, an ex-acrobat and husband of one of the victims is the prime suspect. But whoever the killer is has cannibalistic tendencies and if Scotland Yard doesn't solve the murders quickly the evidence just might be eaten!
