When a film manages to create its own world through its characters and convey some thoughts through the totality of those people, the cinematic experience it provides becomes more special.

When the basic story is a mixture of predictable pattern and practically unconvincing ideas, it is very difficult for us to root for the emotions.

With a disappointing… Continue reading Honey Bee 2.5

Kukku Surendran’s E is a horror film that isn’t devoid of the tactics one see in almost all the films in this genre.
