Murmur

Till the climax of the movie, all the characters do is sleep, sleep and sleep. In the name of found footage film, which is poorly edited, the pace only picks up near the climax. So if you feel to watch the movie even after reading this review, you mean that you are ready to waste time in your life. Still if you want to watch it, start the movie, watch it for 15 to 30 mins and directly skip to the climax.

There is only a little amount of acting effort, no writing effort, no musical effort, no editing effort from the cast and crew. Also, technically this one is the weakest of all horror flicks.

This movie is supposed to be a short film and now it is one of the biggest scams in cinema on people with respect to time and money.

While the plot was weak and the acting fairly average, the film still managed to deliver some solid jump scares. Given how low my expectations have become for Tamil horror films-thanks to the many cringe-worthy horror-comedy hybrids-I was pleasantly surprised.

Unlike most Tamil horror movies that awkwardly try to mix comedy with scares, this one took a more serious approach, which I appreciated. Some scenes genuinely spooked me and reminded me of Paranormal Activity in their execution.

That said, the dialogue and its delivery left a lot to be desired, and the casting could have been stronger. There were also several moments where logic went out the window-one of those cases where the story would've ended if the characters had made a single smart decision.

As someone who's seen countless Ouija board scenes in horror films, the basics are pretty clear-you form a circle, not a straight line. But in this movie, the scene felt completely off. Everyone sitting in a neat row just for the sake of camera coverage? It was laughable.

Still, despite its flaws, I'd say it was a decent attempt at a straight horror film.

I wonder who gave this movie 7+ rating. The worst movie i have come accross ever in any language. Came to make a comment creating an account just say "director stop making films". At least once if you have gone jungle trekking before making the movie u would understand. First from where did you get water for 3 days. Who sleep in the jungle in the open air. Who sleeps on the floor on top of leaves just like that do u even know how many insects and deadly creepy crawlies out there. Is it a picnic to walk about in the jungle just when u please. Who will charge ur equipments cameras for 3 days. First rule of the jungle we dont walk about at night. No ant, cockroach, dear, elephant or any damn creature in the so called jungle except for the ghost and 5 useless characters. Director give ur camera to a school kid or a you tuber to make a better movie. Producer if you have money to waste just give it to a orphanage already. A bloody shame not only for horror genre but also for the art of cinema. Disgraceful and disgusting to the max.

Found-footage or POV movies may have been a rage several years ago in the West but it is still a new concept in India. Even slasher movies are unknown in India. Ouija boards are a novelty even in the West so the director had an uphill task using it in this movie. This movie offers nothing new that Western audiences have not seen. For its intended audience in India, it can be fun though. Older viewers who are used to formulaic masala movies may be shocked (no songs!) but younger audiences who are used to Youtube and social media will take to this movie like duck to water.

Things I did not like: Foul language used by almost everyone, even by the non-Tamil guy. No date/timestamps on the videos.

Things that could have been better: All characters seem to be voiced by easily recognizable dubbing artists used by the advertising industry; No explanation of the science behind how the slider moves on an Ouija board or the popular belief that it is driven by spirits.

I liked: The humour.

A half baked attempt. Its not even basic horror movie. No atmospheric feel, no horror mood. But the promotion of the movie was top notch very good strategy. A simple the movie director say pregnant women please don't watch this movie. That's the curiosity and social media marketing that hype got intense but the film was not genuine. One of the worst movie I ever saw. . . . . . the same day I saw another found footage horror film missing couple 2024 which was really creapy and disturbing at the end. That an example of how to made an found footage movie in a low budget. Murmur is said to be 2.5crore budget look like it does not cross 40L. Visually its not convincing for the budget.
