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
Aimed squarely at anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. Same wavelength as Deep Red. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

Kitty, a photographer living in Rome, witnesses the murder of a young woman at the hands of a razor-wielding black-gloved killer. Kitty and her fiancé Alberto go to the police, only to learn that two other witnesses to the crime have been slashed to death.
