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
Right up the alley of anyone who likes their romance with a bite and anyone who loves a world with magic in it. Vampire lore, given its own spin. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 56 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: expect violence.
  • Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

A deranged 15th-century prison colony chaplain exploits his power to obtain funds for his church, including murder and graverobbing committed by his vampire mistress and one-eyed hunchback assistant.
