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 anyone who enjoys a good scare and people who love a story set somewhere strange. Best enjoyed if you're happy to go along with its world. If you loved Spectral or Predator, start here.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 29 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

When a drug to replicate plant cells creates a sentient form of flower, the planet is over taken by flora and humankind is depleted. A Chinese task force, a widowed father and his young daughter fight to survive in a mission to inject an antidote to the core of the plants to reverse their growth.
