What happens next forms the rest of the story.
Analysis:
Directed by Adarsh the movie is based on the Naayaadi tribe.
The movie follows the usual horror film template. However, the backstory of the Naayaadi tribe and the way he horror elements are presented are interesting.
Since most of the cast are all new comers, it takes time to get used to what character they are playing.
However, the cast members have all ensured that the audience are spooked. They manage to keep the audience in a constant state of fear with their expressions.
There are a few sequences that are executed in an effective giving the chills to the audience.
The twist in the climax is an unexpected one, but it could have been staged in a better manner.
Music by Arun compliments the theme of the movie well.
Moses Daniel’s camerawork has captured the forest area in an effective way.
Rating: 3.2/5
