About This Movie

Maya Puthagam dives into a blend of horror and thriller that's really quite atmospheric. The film follows Guru, an aspiring filmmaker, who’s drawn into a twisted journey fueled by his dreams of a serpent and this magical book. The pacing is intriguing; it builds tension gradually, letting the audience sit with the unease. The forest palace setting is beautifully eerie, and the practical effects have a rawness that heightens the sense of dread. Themes of ambition and the supernatural clash throughout, with Guru’s struggles feeling all too relatable. The performances are solid, especially how they convey desperation amidst the unfolding chaos. There's a distinct flavor here that reminds you of classic horror, yet it pushes into fresh territory that keeps you thinking.
