Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: Best for people who like the lights on afterwards and anyone who likes yelling at characters not to go upstairs. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Classic slasher set-up: count who's left standing.
The mood: Scary and gory.
The pace: Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 28 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Rated R: expect violence.
Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

A boarding house is reopened years after gruesome murders were committed there. Suddenly, the body count begins once more!
