⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 This movie was thrilling and dramatic with a chilling environment but the momentum quickly died with a lukewarm climax.

The screenplay was nicely written and it keeps you hooked throughout the runtime. The direction was good and the director properly adapted the story out of the book. The performances were also good. Overall, it was a good thriller drama which even with a underwhelming climax gives you thrill.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 I haven’t read the novel so I will not be comparing it with the novel. I loved this movie, it was so captivating and interesting. The story was good and its execution was so good that it keeps you bound till the very end, though the ending was little predictable. The screenplay was also good as you font feel bored at any moment and it keeps you guessing what will happen next. The direction was good and the director did a good work in making the story impactful, thrilling and disturbing to watch. The performances were also good as you feel connected with all the characters and do feel when they die. Overall, it was a good thriller drama which you should definitely give a try. This movie will be one of my favourites of 2025.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 If you are fan of 80s silly horror killing movies, then this movie is for you. Even after being a low budget independent movie, it entertains you. The story was good, entertaining and silly at the same time, the screenplay was good and it keeps you engaged for the whole runtime (which is just 76 minutes). The direction was decent for this type of story and the performances were decent. Overall, don’t expect anything special from those movie. Just sit back and enjoy it.

Him had a plot which, if executed properly, could have been a great horror thriller but the weak execution made it a story which did not know what it wanted to be. The story had potential but it was all over the place. The story failed to tell its message and I got confused about what this story was actually about. The screenplay was also underwhelming. This type of story needed a strong screenplay but it failed to grab my attention and I got bored after some minutes as it didn’t have any key highlight points. The direction was too simple and I don’t blame the director as the writer did lazy work here. The performances by all the cast was also underwhelming, I barely felt any character or their emotions. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience which I won’t recommend.

I enjoyed the first two Tron movies and was excited for this one. Though the premiere was interesting but the execution was underwhelming. The story was decent but not making it a direct sequel of Legacy disappointed me. The story also felt like I have seen or read this type of story many times due to which story became predictable. The screenplay was good as it keeps you hooked even after an underwhelming story. The direction was decent and I expected more thrill and excitement in the direction like the Legacy. The performances were also decent, the character writing for Ares felt weak and other characters were decently written. Overall, it was a decent sequel which had a lot of potential but could not reach the level of the previous parts.

This movie was in my watchlist for a long time and today I finally watched it. Unexpectedly, it was messy, chaotic and had a lot of inspirations from 70s and 80s horror. The story was good but its execution was messy, chaotic, irritating and confusing at some points. The screenplay was decent for such a story and it could have been better, it was little bit bland. Talking about the direction, the director tried something different but he missed the mark. But as it was a debut movie, I can give him benefit of doubt. The performances were messy, you won’t connect with any character. Overall, it was a chaotic mess which tries to thrill you but at the end, the execution drops the level of the movie.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 The premise of the movie is interesting and it keeps you hooked with a lot of twist and turns. The story was good with a blend of horror, drama, thriller and suspense. The story slowly progresses with all the elements entering the story one by one and by the end, it all becomes chaotic. The screenplay though slow, was good and fully uses the short runtime. Though the pacing lags at a few scenes but it doesn’t affect the overall pacing. The direction was decent for this type of story and the performance was also good. Overall, it was a good horror thriller which you should try if you enjoy slow paced horrors.

This movie has an interesting premise. Four interwoven stories, all happening on Halloween night. The story is interesting with a blend of horror, drama and thriller. All the stories are connected in a proper way and the suspense elements in all of them are great. The screenplay was also good as it keeps you engaged in the story with a proper pacing and runtime. The direction was also good, though I feel it could have been more tight. The performances were also good. Overall, it was an entertaining and thrilling watch for Halloween season.

I entered this movie expecting a slasher horror but I was amazed that it was not what I expected but a blend of romantic comedy and slasher horror. The story was interesting with blend of different genres but the execution part is where it could have been better. Sometimes it goes too romantic and sometimes too horror, it struggles to balance the genres. The screenplay though decent, could have been better. The pacing was also uneven. The direction was decent and the performances were good, though character writing could have been better especially for the killers. Overall, it could have been much better slasher horror but still entertains you.
