A Maldição do Poço

Hello all, I wasted another Friday night with this garbage. Netflix movies used to be far better. But now their standards are going way downhill. The message in this movie, if any, is about female infanticide in India. But the direction and story is so bad that half way through you start cursing its producers for wasting their money on this director. Save urself some time and watch something else. This movie is a waste of your time and producer's money.

Another Netflix film that is technically brilliant (other recent one is Bulbbul (2020)) with a better sound design than most Indian films but which lacks substance. It crafts a suspenseful story at the cost of putting its viewers to sleep, to whom the impeccable production value or crescendoing background score is not enough. It is hard to keep track or make sense of things in Kaali Khuhi (The Black Well) and by the time you do, it goes off with a whimper. At the end, it reduces itself as an atmospheric suspense show sampling and combining folktales and social evil and hardly has any effect on the viewers. It's a wasted attempt (including the talent) at best with a confusing plot and several unanswered questions. These may be solved in a second watch but Kaali Khuhi is not confident enough to demand a first. Only for serious horror fans. Grade D. TN.

We understand Netflix wants to create cinema with a message but they need to understand this "understand your audience" , what could had been a 20 minute short film it was turned into a movie which was utter boring , bad cinematography , bad acting and to top it all a very bad story for the intended message.

The storyline of this movie is too common, nothing new on this but their acting is good.

With Shabana Azmi, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Riva Arora. A fairly dark supernatural horror/thriller. Untidy finish. Cheaply made for Netflix and below expectations..
