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 anyone who likes yelling at characters not to go upstairs and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Classic slasher set-up: count who's left standing. Shelve it next to Scream or Grindhouse.
- The mood
- Scary and gory.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want something to relax to.
A couple of friends break into their school late one night to solve a mystery hidden in the past, only to realize that they are trapped inside with a masked serial killer.
