Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

- Who'll love it
- Great for people who like to watch through their fingers and people who like their stories at full throttle. Leaves you with something to think about. Same wavelength as mother! or Jacob's Ladder.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 56 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
It's the Holy Week, the end of Lent, a popular time for Filipinos to have a vacation. A young couple travels to Baguio to escape the Metro's summer heat. But before they reach the city proper, their jeep breaks down. Fortunately, they find a transient house with a room to spare. The housekeeper is a mysterious fellow, warm but dreadfully awkward. The couple doesn't mind him though and they even make it an adventure to find out more about their host by asking locals what they know about the house and its keeper. Come Good Friday, the day God dies, they will discover that adventures and vacations don't go well together all the time.
