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
- A natural pick for fans of a good haunting and lovers of period drama. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Same wavelength as The Witch. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 29 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Not ideal if you just want to unwind.
In a mid-19th century Essex country house, a young governess for two children becomes convinced that the house and grounds are haunted by ghosts and that the children are being possessed.
