Asvins

This is a classic example how to spoil good horror story like with over dose of creative ideas. Overall the movies is based on a very good Mythological story. It's the director who executed the idea with no head and tail. 1) No story line - 2) Confused directions 3) worst screenplay 4) Worst Editing

Only good part about the movie is the first 10 minutes , Art, background Music abs cinematography. There are some very good drone shots.

Great team and Great story with worst director = BIG DISASTER!

Don't waste time on this movie by sitting 1 hour 55 minutes. Just watch the first 15-20 minutes of the movie to escape from the mental torture.

I've certainly seen far worse than "Asvins" in my time. The movie starts out promising, but doesn't really maintain the pace of the opening chapter. Not to say this is bad, I don't mind a slow burn horror that's more story and less jump scares, if it's done correctly, that is. I would say that "Asvins" is a semi-failed project, but succeeds in some places quite well.

For one, the cinematography in some areas is beautiful, in others, it's cheesy. The lighting can be a bit... retro... at times, looking more like a 1970s disco scene than a Hellish nightmare. The acting is solid in some places, but then terribly overdramatic in others. This may be a part of Indian cinema in general, much as Chinese cinema often incorporates theatrical stage play-type work into their movies.

The stand out of this movie for me was the musical score. It was fantastic. It's not often movie scores catch my attention more than the movie proper, but this one certainly did. Ominous and foreboding and well implemented, probably better than what the movie deserved, frankly. I bumped it up to a six on this merit alone.

All in all, of you like slow burners that are more story than horror, you may enjoy this, but don't bring any of your buddies that are expecting "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

It Started of with engaging experience for first 10 mins. Then rest of the movie screen play is too boring to watch. Plot twist of the movie isnt great. Phasmophobia computer game play style at times you get confused what has happened betwen the story. Ghost wearing typical black dress with lenghty hair. Looks like sound download from random sites and attached between the movie. After long time tamil cinemas had a thriller and horror story but they messed up, just went to watch the movie with imdb rating which was 9 after 3 days of release and thats why posting a review so that you can be aware of what you are watching.overall 4.5/10. I would say wait for OTT release to watch this film.

Since I am fan of horror genre I was eager to watch this movie since it got positive reviews on its release but again like it happened in the past the reviews are totally wrong when you watch the movie. In horror movies music and location plays very important role like the actors if the casting is good. The movie scores in background music and location but actors lets not talk about it and why should they be blamed the real culprit is poor script and the director. The first fifteen minutes you feel the movie will be interesting but as it moves ahead what you get is boredom. Very bad attempt the movie pulls on with no sense you regret why you watched few scenes you find it comical too due to bad acting.three star only for the background music.

As this Indian chiller starts we are told of the ancient legend of a farmer whose twin sons drown. After praying to the gods one is returned along with a pair of idols which he must keep together. A demon tricks him and his village is cursed until they are reunited. Centuries pass and they have come into the possession of an Indian archaeologist who has a large mansion in England. Something strange has happened there and a group of young Indians are exploring the house. The opening chapter shows them exploring, found footage style, and bad things happen to them. We then flash back to just before they arrive at the house, which is on an island which is accessible at low tide. We learn why they are there and more about what is happening to them.

I thought this started well; the introduction was effective and the found footage scenes provided some early scares. Later on as they arrive and start exploring it is suitably creepy with a terrifically spooky atmosphere and disturbing sound effects. Unfortunately as we get to know more it starts to drag somewhat; it could have done with being about twenty minutes shorter. The acting is solid with the characters appearing genuinely terrified at times. If you enjoy a good scare but don't want swearing, sex/nudity and gore then you needn't worry as this features none of that. Overall a decent enough chiller.
