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
- Aimed squarely at fans of a good revenge story and people who like the lights on afterwards. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Sits nicely alongside Evil Dead Burn or A Nightmare on Elm Street. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Cantonese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
After the wife of a taxi driver is raped and killed by two teenage hooligans, he pleads with a sorcerer to lift the hex and exact revenge.
