Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for horror fans. A good one for a late-night scare.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

The staff and vacationers at a first-class resort on the island of Maui are beginning to mysteriously disappear. A biologist believes that an underwater earthquake has caused a giant and very hungry dormant prehistoric fish to be released from its slumber. The fish voraciously helps itself to a tourist buffet. Now it is open season for the local fishermen to find and kill the creature.
