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
Best for fans of newsroom stories and anyone who enjoys a good scare. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story. Shelve it next to The Descent.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: expect violence and drug use.
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

A reporter and her cameraman connect a surviving Jonestown leader and a TV exec's missing son to a drug war where jungle installations are being massacred by an army of natives and a skilled white assassin.
