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: Made for horror fans. If you loved Nosferatu or Near Dark, start here.
The mood: Scary.
The pace: Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off: It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1973: an older pace and style.

Isabel is a dead vampire and witch whose body is hanging in a basement while the owner tries to kidnap virgins for a sacrifice that could mean Isabel’s resurrection. But doing this won’t be easy as the women aren’t gonna give in very easily.
