A fast-paced show where most characters are deplorable and hide heinous secrets.

Even with all the unnecessary, b-grade sleaze thrown in, the show manages to keep you hooked. But just when you think you are nearer to the big revelation, the director moves the goalposts, leaving you with a tantalizing feeling.

The show has its fair share of plot-holes and absurdities, too. Would you ever expect a person to turn into a computer genius - capable of designing cloning apps, hacking into CCTV camers - after they have spent 18 years in a Mexican prison? No? This show makes it all possible.

A discernible viewer will likely switch over after one or two episodes. A large majority like me, will go on for the sake of cheap thrills.

The VFX team deserve a special credit - not just for creating the demon "Hustar", but for also setting up the eerie, forever rain-drenched village of Tumbbad. As much as the actors, the spooky atmosphere stands out in the movie, too.

It's one of those movies that lingers in your head days after you have watched it. And, that's the hallmark of a truly good movie.

Lastly, if you love horror and you haven't seen this one wherever you are in the world, you are missing out on something.

(This is my first review on IMDB :-))
