While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Story: 3 guys who live a miserable, fateful life, that see's no end to their woes, on a night drop by a haunted mansion known as Demonte Colony. Legend says that a Portuguese landlord, in revenge for his wife's terminal illness, he suspects and starts killing all the Indian Servants in his household, and when people from the neighboring village comes to take revenge, he destroys the entire household along with him and his wife. But one of the characters who took his 3 friends to the haunted house, finds the necklace used by Demonte's wife, and steals it as it is precious and it's worth in current market for 10 million rupees or more..But happens with them after the robbery, kills them at the end, except for Sajith A.K.A sappa who delivers the chain back at Demonte's colony, which is why he survived and srini who escaped through the window passed away..coz he broke the rule to escape and he didn't return the chain ...Pro's:Brilliant Screenplay.. Excellent Cinematography...According to the budget given Thrilling Storyline, Excellent twists in the story...several unexpected sequences. Excellent Direction...well directed by a newcomer...Interesting show of level design and the background of the movie.Brilliant thinking in making the character's house as the haunted location, making the necklace the source of the haunting.Great acting shown by the main character and the comedian. Focus was well given to the haunting rather than on the main character.Removed all unnecessary factors and focused only on the main story No heroines, side story, extra stuffCons: BGM wasn't that effective, maybe due to budget, but movies such as pizza , which had excellent BGM.VFX was also on the average..2 extra characters was really not effective except at the end.Overall: A brilliant movie in the routine boring Horror Genre of Tamil Cinema, this movie makes sense how money is not required heavily to direct a good horror story.9/10, Cheers, Max

I might have rated this movie down, but please bare with me for my explanation. I would say the genre is now changing and movies have adapted to be funny, yet with a few jump scares. In that pattern, this is a flip-version. No fun at all, only scares. So good job movie in bringing the crux of the horror flicks back to us. Apart from that, the movie is very flat Honesty in movies will always strike a chord, but when you mix a lot of Hollywood movies and try to recreate the same scare, no movie no! That's just a cocktail of laziness. Seriously, make movies with a purpose. The premise was about a colony in Chennai, which was very intriguing, in that sense it should have been either a "Found footage" genre or a horror-based on real events. In the end it's neither of these two, which is very disappointing. If this was your story you might as well chosen any place to script your story, just does not make sense.First, the camera speed, by god, the slowest i have ever seen, moving from one frame to other almost made me sleepy. I understand the movie is waiting for the peeking factor, but in the end it just makes it so boring. The second, the murders were so freaking confusing, here i think the director has made a mess of things. The plots were way too convoluted and it just keeps adding in more. Plot twists are good when done in moderation, you do more, people just lose interest and when the dots don't connect you are just making a mockery of your ignorance and you still think you are way too clever, wrong again.I understand the purpose of the ghost, but why kill a astronomer for no reason? would his survival be of any difference? Make jump scares relevant to the plot, don't make the plot revolve around jump scares, that is just a weak script. I think many people like this movie specifically because they weren't expecting a total horror, rather they were in for the horror-comedy, which has been floating for years now. The major up-selling factor is the actors, who have made a really phenomenal effort, much appreciated. Apart from that i would say its a self-convoluted movie which does not know where to go and decided to end when it can't go the distance.You wouldn't be disappointed, but i was. because i expected something legit and all i got was a ready made story from various sources

The word "horror" has become increasingly cheap in today's Tamil cinema with every week has a horror movie waiting to be released.Even though Muni stared it all its because of Pizza we are having whole lots of horror movies in Tamil cinema in last 5 or 6 years. Except 3 or 4 films remaining are mostly disappointing mainly because of Masala approach by not giving importance to the script and story. But this is where Demonte colony differ from other movies.The story starts When four friends after getting drunk in a bar, decide to do something interesting and eventually break into a terrifying bungalow in Demonte Colony which is believed to be possessed by spirits. The next morning when they return home, a chilling turn of events takes them hostage and puts everyone's life at jeopardy. Will they come out of these unanticipated circumstances alive? This forms the rest of the story.The movie doesn't have large cast so no place for female lead and comedians but the cast has done great job with their performance. Arulnithi again does an excellent job. He has a knack for choosing a good script hope he continues to choose good script in his future projects . All 3 other male friends with significant screen space also stand out.Director Ajay Gnanamuthu has done great job with the script, though he takes time in establishing characters, things speed up once they enter the bungalow.Brilliantly written and well executed.Cinematography by Aravind Singh is excellent. All the scenes are well shot with good color tone, angles and light. The way single room is captured with vivid lighting are absolutely brilliant.Although BGM is unbearable in some scenes Keba Jeremiah has done good job with BGM.While you will see some resemblance to 1408 and The Sixth sense it doesn't stop it from enjoying the movie.So if you got a chance to see the movie don't miss it.Best horror movie of the season

The movie plot revolves around the demonte in chennai who was a french king man lives in the palace long ago which is it is in the alwarpet area.The story is about four people who goes to the demonte palace after more 100 years and one of them steals the demonte wife's necklace to make money.After that the four of them were strucked in their house by the demonte spirit and how they can survive or not is the one line story . Arulnidhi as shreni who done a hero and the producer of this movie done his job neat.The next one is acted in movies like soodhu kavum he done a character as vimal.The other two faces are new.Director done a script with neat screenplay.Vfx is superb in this movie and the BGM is also a great one.since we can feel little bit reference from 1408 movie but is OK.So overall is above average movie with neat in all aspects and fulfill in all aspects especially in the length of the movie
