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
- Made for people who like the lights on afterwards and animal lovers. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. If you loved Frankenstein or The Elephant Man, start here. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Henry Irving is dead. Join Irving’s restless spirit as he tells the story of how he transformed himself from a stuttering, spindly country boy into the most formidable actor of the nineteenth century. It is a story of a man who petrified London with his Gothic portrayals of mad monarchs, guilt-stricken murderers and the devil himself. A story of a man who could never escape his monsters – even in death. A filmed version of the live one-man stage play by James Swanton.
