Pechi

The creators labeled this Tamil film as "folklore horror," and while it started off decently with a solid story foundation, that was unfortunately where the positives ended.

The plot had potential: the witch 'Pechi' terrorized villagers in ancient times, sacrificing their infants in her quest for immortality. After being captured and confined in the forest, she is freed by trekkers, emerging more powerful than before, and begins to hunt them down with a vengeance.

However, the film suffers from poor direction, and although some camera work was visually impressive, it was misused by both the director and editor. The screenplay is riddled with inconsistencies, and the acting feels amateurish, reminiscent of a fresh acting school graduate. I hold B. Ramachandran accountable for this misstep. At least it wasn't the typical lengthy Indian film, clocking in at a more manageable duration. Nothing scarry here!

I'm puzzled as to why the 1TAMILMV site refers to this as being "directed by the talented director, Krishna Marimuthu." Can anyone explain?

Coming to the Pechi Movie - Kudos to the talented cast, including Gayathrie Shankar, Bala Saravanan, Dev Ramnath, and Preethi Nedumaran, for bringing to life a suspenseful and intense storyline that has left horror fans spellbound! .Actually From start to end, the movie was very interesting. I didn't expect the last Turning Point. The movie is 1 hour 48 minutes long, but it doesn't seem too long because it's interesting. But, Everyone have their own opinion, some people may say it is not up to the level. But, in my opinion the movie is really great. I Really Enjoy the Movie. If you're a horror fan, don't miss 'Pechi' - a chilling thrill ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Waiting for the 2nd Part. HatsOff to the Pechi Movie Team. Take this to Pechi Movie Team.

Except actor Bala's acting and that of the main actor and excellent cinematography with superb shots nothing else holds the movie. The ghost itself is not scary enough even for a child. Pechi in tamil means to talk and the movie is just people talking. The flashback part is okaish but not good enough. The one playing the character of the photographer gives us some comic effect and is a natural for his role. But actress Gayathri's character just irritates you too the core. Overall you can watch it for bala's acting and the wonderful cinematography which is the highlight of the movie. The ghost itself is weak and jump scares are less than needed. The movie moves at a very slow pace. The ending though expected by me is an unexpected one. The ghost just comes and stands at a distance hoping to scare you for doesn't even make you flinch a bit. It's more like jurassic park than a conjuring type of a movie.
