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
- Tailor-made for zombie fans and anyone who loves a world with magic in it. The undead are the backdrop; how people treat each other is the real story. Same wavelength as The Evil Dead or 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 38 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
Upon his uncle's death, Serge Chekov journeys to a spooky Scottish village for the reading of the will. But when he inherits the estate, Serge runs afoul of his uncle's jealous wife, his business partner, his maid, and others. It's not long before zombies join the fray…
