Cookie

This will haunt you for a very long time! There are times when we want to sit in bed and watch a horror film. And what makes watching this type of film when you come to know that this film is based on a true story and real people do exist as in the film. Cookie is one such film which is there to haunt you for a very long time.

Poorly written, poorly acted movie. Can't find a single positive thing to say about it. My suggestion: skip it!

I really loved the movie. It showcases a genuine problem in most of the families. The horror part actually scare you in most part of the movie. I would say its a perfect amalgamation of a content based story with spine chilling scenes. The modern teen problem issue is very well addressed in the movie. There are few scenes which have left an unforgettable impression in my mind. One more thing I liked about the movie is that it broke away from the traditional night horror scenes and venture even into the day light horror scenes. Although the actors are not well known, but their efforts are good and the story and the screenplay adds on to the efforts. Rarely you get to see a horror movie which is driven by a good story rather than the horror itself. I must admit, after a long time I saw a good horror movie. As a parent myself, I am left with so many questions and thoughts after watching this movie.

Director Lalit Marathe's COOKIE which means cuckooed or say fear of watching your loved one going crazy weird and lost. Lalit Marathe nicely blends this supernatural horror drama with tried and tested traits and is able to spin a wheel of a mystical air in the story of Cookie. Not a challenging jump scare but a decent scare fest with relatable emotions and characters. The film is technically sound with Tuhin Chongder and Somraj Ganguli's music creating the eerie feeling. Cinematography by Sudip Sengupta creates right moods with his effective lighting and shot taking technics.

A decent script, a competent cast and crew and, most importantly, the will, time, money and passion to do it all. It's a wonderfully frustrating, rewardingly claustrophobic and tensely insular experience that sticks you right in the slightly off-kilter head of its protagonist and does a great job of making you feel exactly the way she does at every moment. The pace is almost perfect, as we're dealt a number of blows every time we begin to get comfortable in each new situation, and the slow descent from slightly strange to straight-up sinister is a palpable and uncomfortable one, though it isn't pushed quite as far as it perhaps could have been, and it keeps you unsure about everything you see. The nods back to classic seventies horror, It will keep you constantly on the edge of the seat throughout this gripping, agitating, intriguing and generally very entertaining thriller.
