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
Great for fans of medical drama and people who like to watch through their fingers. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

In late 19th century London, a woman weds a necrophiliac doctor whose first wife died under mysterious circumstances - and who might be returning from the grave to torment her successor.
