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
Right up the alley of anyone who's already planned their apocalypse hideout and anyone who enjoys a good scare. The undead are the backdrop; how people treat each other is the real story. Shelve it next to Dust Bunny or The Witches.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
A big, patient story, at 2 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's long: 2 hr 31 min.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want something with an edge.

Anthology features three family-friendly fantasy / horror tales; "Sleeping Beauty," "Zombies" and "Querubin: Maria Leonora Theresa." It's an adaptation of the radio drama series written by Severino Reyes, which was popular in the 1950s.
