Its a must-watch
I might have rated this movie down, but please bare with me for my explanation. I would say the genre is now changing and movies have adapted to be funny, yet with a few jump scares. In that pattern, this is a flip-version. No fun at all, only scares. So good job movie in bringing the crux of the horror flicks back to us. Apart from that, the movie is very flat Honesty in movies will always strike a chord, but when you mix a lot of Hollywood movies and try to recreate the same scare, no movie no! That's just a cocktail of laziness. Seriously, make movies with a purpose. The premise was about a colony in Chennai, which was very intriguing, in that sense it should have been either a "Found footage" genre or a horror-based on real events. In the end it's neither of these two, which is very disappointing. If this was your story you might as well chosen any place to script your story, just does not make sense.
First, the camera speed, by god, the slowest i have ever seen, moving from one frame to other almost made me sleepy. I understand the movie is waiting for the peeking factor, but in the end it just makes it so boring. The second, the murders were so freaking confusing, here i think the director has made a mess of things. The plots were way too convoluted and it just keeps adding in more. Plot twists are good when done in moderation, you do more, people just lose interest and when the dots don't connect you are just making a mockery of your ignorance and you still think you are way too clever, wrong again.
I understand the purpose of the ghost, but why kill a astronomer for no reason? would his survival be of any difference? Make jump scares relevant to the plot, don't make the plot revolve around jump scares, that is just a weak script. I think many people like this movie specifically because they weren't expecting a total horror, rather they were in for the horror-comedy, which has been floating for years now. The major up-selling factor is the actors, who have made a really phenomenal effort, much appreciated. Apart from that i would say its a self-convoluted movie which does not know where to go and decided to end when it can't go the distance.
You wouldn't be disappointed, but i was. because i expected something legit and all i got was a ready made story from various sources
