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 fans of deadpan, fly-on-the-wall comedy and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Shot like a documentary, played completely straight.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

"Blood Effects" a mockumentary by film maker Kris Black, is a cross between "Paranormal Activity" and Christopher Guest's "Best in Show". Presented as a "movie-within-a-movie", veteran Bruce Reisman produced Black's scathing satire of Hollywood horror movies, where reality ties itself up with fantasy, and the results are both humorous and horrifying.
