Kriya

About This Movie

Kriya is quite the odd blend, isn't it? You've got this DJ who stumbles into a surreal world after a night at the club, and it spirals into all sorts of bizarre territory with ritual magic and heavy family dynamics. The film's atmosphere is this strange mix of dark humor and horrifying rituals—definitely unsettling at times. The pacing feels a bit erratic, which adds to that dream-like quality. Practical effects are in play, and you can tell they went for a raw, visceral feel in some of those sequences. The performances carry a certain weight, grappling with themes of patriarchy and death customs. This one’s distinctive for how it mashes up genres without worrying too much about convention.
