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
A natural pick for vampire fans and fans of a well-timed joke. Vampire lore, given its own spin. Same wavelength as Fright Night.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 42 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

An American actress inherits a Transylvanian castle, unaware that her ancestor was really a vampire countess, and has emerged from her tomb to ravage the nearby village and Catholic seminary
