The movie starts with a really cool murder scene at the beginning of the flick that really grabs your attention in the opening credits.

Then it falls off quickly, as we get to know Micheal, a rich A-hole who takes his really hot girlfriend on a trip to a remote town in the mountains, and becomes haunted by events that happen in the hotel he's staying at in room 327. It seems like the idea of the picture is that he starts out like a jerk, and the more we get to know him the more we can relate to him and become sympathetic. That never happens for me. From beginning to end, I feel nothing for this guy. Everything is just too bland.

The only good spot was the legendary, Lance Henriksen. He was the only actor I recognized and it shows, cause his season thespian chops made the most basic lines come to life, at least in comparison to the other actors.

The movie's overall plot does grab you again by the end of the film. I thought how everything connected together was a brilliant Idea, but the character development did not hold my interest enough until the big reveal.

So it started off strong and ends good, but the in-between loosen whatever hold It had on me at the beginning of the film, making the end not worth the time.

While I always love to see Lance Henriksen in a movie and this one had potential, the lad actor is atrocious in every sense of the word. It makes the movie hard to watch and gives you a feeling of dread to hear the next words being shot out of his mouth like an over-dramatic prepubescent teenager throwing a tantrum in every scene.... a completely unbelievable character that you want to see die early on.

The rest of the acting is okay and easy to watch (wish they would've made Lance the lead, or even the blond bellhop at the hotel would've been much better). The idea behind the movie is interesting and makes you want to see what's going to happen, although it is a bit predictable, but always fun to see the why behind the what in these types of stories.....

The lead male can't act, period. The plot is neither well-crafted nor interesting, and it flip- flops and meanders into every thriller cliché imaginable. It felt like the writer, who I guess is also the aforementioned lead male, had no more idea where the story was going than we as the viewers do. The only redeeming quality, for me, is the actress who plays Olivia, who has genuine screen presence. The film left me frustrated that I'd wasted any amount of time on it. I would wholeheartedly recommend this exercise in pointlessness to absolutely no one.

The movie has a decent premise with elements of mystery, thriller, and supernatural flick thrown in. The scripting was somewhat stilted and awkward, but could have been worse. It jumps around a lot and gets a little silly, but it ties everything together nicely and gives you a nice, though predictable, twist. The filming was good.

But the lead actor was absolutely the worst. His tone was completely flat. He sounded exactly the same throughout the entire movie. Confusion, anger, love - every emotion was portrayed with the exact same tone and intonation. And who talks like this guy? I get that in written form it may have seemed fine, but the language was totally unnatural. People don't say "they are". They say "they're". How did nobody notice how labored his speech sounded? Is that how he talks in real life, or just when he's trying to act? Most of the other acting was okay (although none of it was particularly memorable), but the lead drove me nuts and made the movie totally unenjoyable.

I watched it in bits and pieces while doing midnight feedings with my newborn. I don't know that I would have been able to handle it beginning to end in one sitting. I'd say it's fine if you have a couple hours to kill, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.

In MONDAY AT 11:01 A. M., a young couple named Michael and Jenny (Charles Agron and Lauren Shaw) experience bizarre circumstances upon entering a hotel in a small town.

Everyone the pair encounters acts rather suspiciously, and a local bartender (Lance Henriksen) seems almost omniscient, and a bit too helpful.

Michael begins having what appear to be hallucinations, and believes that he and Jenny might be in the midst of a dark, occult conspiracy. Either that, or he's losing his mind.

PROS: This movie isn't a bad trip into the beyond. It's loaded with nightmare images and a paranoiac atmosphere. Henriksen is especially effective in his enigmatic role.

CONS: The problems with this movie are twofold: #1- It's length. The story feels padded out, and would be better suited as part of an anthology film, or as an episode of a show like THE TWILIGHT ZONE. #2- The finale is rushed. After the big build-up, it just doesn't end in an overly satisfying way.

Still, it's recommended for fans of Mr. Henriksen, since he's really good in it!...
