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
A natural pick for fantasy readers and anyone who likes secrets inside secrets. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them. Shelve it next to Talk to Me or It Follows. Nobody is quite who they seem.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 29 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: expect violence.
  • Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

John Considine plays the flamboyant Dr. Death, a thousand-year-old magician who has mastered he art of transferring souls from one body to another and thereby manages to perpetuate himself by jumping from one body to the next. Apparently the Doc is a kindred spirit since his blood is a highly-corrosive acid that can strip flesh from bone
