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: Best for people who like to watch through their fingers and western fans. Best watched with the lights down and someone to grab.
The mood: Scary.
The pace: Tense from early on, at 1 hr 26 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Rated R: meant for adults.
Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

Two travelers meet on the open prairie, and pass their time together by trading stories with each other. Their tales become a sort of competition, each attempting to relate something which might disturb the other.
