Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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 anyone who enjoys a good scare and sci-fi fans. Best watched with the lights down and someone to grab. Shelve it next to Prometheus or 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 7 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1958: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
A stone-encrusted body is unearthed at Pompeii, and people left alone with it keep dying of crushed skulls...
