    The future of Malayalam cinema is bright. The cinematography is absolutely top notch, it reminded me of the expertly crafted camera movements from old B&W Japanese films. For a movie set in one location, it kept me engaged for the entire 2+ hours. The mansion’s grand magnitude is overbearing and its desolation can be felt in every shot. The acting from all three characters is great with Mammootty standing out as a force to be reckoned with. The dialogue is also pretty good. There’s a meditative quality to this film and the pacing and script makes you experience the horror of being trapped and your time running out. The ending is a bit confusing at times, with a few awkward scene transitions and some plot points introduced out of nowhere. I’m wondering if the English subtitles provided were the real problem for some of the exposition. But I still enjoyed the end as it was pretty riveting with some well shot sequences and twists, and I also gained some satisfactory answers from an ending explained thread on Reddit. Overall it’s a pretty solid film, and since the large mansion combined with camera angles play a huge role in evoking a sense of dread, I highly recommend watching this on a big screen.

    Cinematically it was shot beautifully but the story was boring as hell and I guess intended more for an Indian audience. It was too bollywood for me. And it wasn't scary at all. It moved incredibly slow and was and overall waste of my time.

    Beautifully shot; amazing cinematography; intriguing story; love the folksy 17th century background - the crew must've had fun creating the entire set. Mammootty's performance was captivating. More a mystery than horror.
