Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little 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
One for vampire fans and anyone who enjoys a good scare. Vampire lore, given its own spin. If you loved Sinners or Nosferatu, start here.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

A group of friends search for a young English Oxford student who has disappeared whilst researching in Greece. They are shocked to find that, wherever he has been, certain unsolved murders have taken place. Not believing that their friend could be the perpetrator of such acts, they press on with their search, finding him under the spell of a beautiful Vampire, whose blood-sucking methods include the use of sado-masochism. Believing they have killed her, the group return home, unaware that their friend is now a Vampire.
