I was so impatient to watch this film after hearing n reading so many positive reviews. One review was from our fellow resident top reviewer, Coventry. I mean i trust this guys reviews for horror films. I appreciate his 3000 plus reviews. Respect for Coventry. Finally saw this on an awesome hd rip pirated copy for 50 rupees. Boy, nothing happens for almost 55 mins n considering that the run time is only 76 mins, this is indeed a very slow movie. Maybe one shudnt watch such kinda slow burn films when one is tired or sleepy but in my case i was alert n energetic. The film starts with 3 young fellas going on a trip to visit their friend at his family's farmhouse. The friend has been doing some mumbo jumbo ritual in the basement n v can see that something sinister is locked up. But nothing happens. At the same time, 2 brothers r doing some pagan *hit n they succeed in raising some dead fella from the grave. Sounds creepy but wait til u watch it man. It has lots of flashbacks n no tension. The editing is poor. The cinematography ain't that great. The acting was decent but the direction wasn't that good. Maybe the budget was limited n since its the directorial debut. Some may compare it to Candyman. To top it all, there is a long sex scene without any tits. Now common man, horror n sex goes together. If not sex, maybe some good kills or at least some genuine tension n scary jump scenes man.
