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
- Tailor-made for fans of close encounters and fans of mob stories. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. A good follow-up to Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Iron Man. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 2 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1957: an older pace and style.
- Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.
A scientist and a gang that has kidnapped a rich heiress come up against a beautiful but lethal alien who has crash-landed her spaceship on Earth.
