I’ve been listening to horror stories ever since i can remember. My dad is a remarkable story-teller. He tells all kinds of stories but the horror ones are my favorite. Way back, when there were not many distractions and loads of power cuts, we would all cuddle up together under a blankie and listen to my father’s narration. Dracula, Exorcist, Omen -I’ve made my own version of these characters long before i got the guts to watch it in DVD. The movies were not that thrilling nor scary, though! I always make it a point to see scary movies with my dad because i prefer a strong person near me (just in case). My husband is a scardy cat who jumps even before the horror scene starts!

The movie, let me tell you, is not scary at all. But the concept was nice. Human body is the most complex machine- and if ghosts are able to control it, then, it should be a cinch to control the appliances- including the TV… I found it interesting. Sure, “they” could have controlled more appliances and made the story-line interesting, and cant imagine why the others in the family never get affected or see that the things on the serial on the TV is wierdly similar to their own lives, i dont understand, but taking the movie at face value, especially Madhavan’s, is gripping. I would have expected more spooks and and thrills but thankful there were no disgusting made-up faces called “ghosts” and cheap scenes when you are expected to jump in the seat. They could have derived some more scares through the blind-man-with-a-dog but i thought that he was wasted. Though the ending was predictable, it took you all the way there without you getting bored in the middle. (The songs were a squirm,though) It was clean movie with not much of a horror but an interesting watch, nonetheless!
