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...
