The horror genre is probably the most difficult genre especially when you are trying to stay away from physical horror and want it to be more psychological and implied.
This movie also has its good bits but somewhere there are glaring holes and bits which are thrown at you without any context leaving you confused in places.
The central theme is clearly defined but somehow seems to be logically flawed. But in all fairness once the movie moves on, that can be forgiven. The kids are the stars but have been criminally under utilised and several moments promise more but then they are abruptly ended especially the blind child who could have been given more meat in her role.
Overall worth a watch.

Yogis review
Good screen play. Seems like the actor playing role of Freddy and actress playing the role of Ross are less experienced to play emotional scenes. The way story converted from horror to emotional shows the brilliance of screen play. The last scene was too good. The red color thunder storm was absolutely brilliant. In OTT i missed 2 scenes. The priest doing house blessing and reason why Freddy left the place before engagement. Movie should give a complete satisfaction only if all questions are answered. To me the reason for Freddy to leave the engagement could have added more emotion. Overall 7/10.
Good But
This kind of film is seen very rarely in the Malayalam Film Industry. For that i have to appreciate the technicians for doing such a varied step.
The genre was horror. Even though it had horror, it was not satisfying for me. The transition part from home to beach cemetery was spot-on. But that scene's ending was depressing for me.
The story turned to a flashback and told an old romantic stoey which happens in the year 1970 and lengthens upto a few months until a bizarre disease is spread in the place.
The flashback was lengthy. They failed to balance out the elongated flashback in the climax. The climax was just of 15 minutes. The last part seemed to be gone too quickly with a few horror factors which is well made.
I liked the film but the expectations the movie gave was too much to be depressed by this.
