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
One for anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead and people who like to watch through their fingers. Leaves you with something to think about. Same wavelength as Grindhouse.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

After a swift courtship, wealthy bachelor Judas Carmichael invites a topless dancer to live with him and his abundant collection of exotic snakes.
