Demonte
Colony
movie
review
or
should
we
say
the
movie
in
itself,
has
been
awaited
by
many
as
the
film
was
touted
to
be
a
complete
horror
flick
as
opposed
to
many
recently
released
films
which
had
embraced
horror-comedy
as
its
genre.
Check
out
what
Demonte
Colony
has
to
offer
by
reading
our
review.
Demonte
Colony
Plot:
Four
friends
Srinivasan(Arulnithi),
Raghavan,
Vimal
and
Sajith
decide
to
unravel
the
mystery
behind
De
Monte
Colony,
a
well
known
area
in
Chennai,
which
is
believed
to
be
haunted
for
ages
now.
They
visit
a
haunted
house
and
bring
back
a
chain
from
the
place
they
visit.
What
are
the
consequences
faced
by
them
for
provoking
a
possible
dark
spirit?
What
happens
when
Srinivasan
is
possessed,
is
said
in
an
intriguing
fashion.
Performances:
Arulnithi
emotes
well
with
his
fear
invoking
expressions
but
his
dialogue
delivery
needs
to
be
taken
care
of,
one
might
feel.
All
the
other
supporting
actors
have
delivered
especially
Ramesh
Thilak
of
Soodhu
Kavvum
fame
who
looks
like
a
natural
actor.
It's
a
bold
move
by
the
director
to
go
ahead
with
the
film
sans
a
female
lead
which
has
actually
worked
in
favour
of
the
movie.
Technicalities:
Demonte
Colony
is
technically
strong.
The
amazing
cinematography
of
Aravind
Singh
who
uses
unique
angles
and
almost
aces
the
technique
of
shooting
a
horror
flick(usage
of
lights)
is
something
to
watch
out
for.
Other
positive
in
the
technical
aspect
is
Keba's
background
score.
Though
being
his
debut
movie
as
a
music
director,
his
re-recording
and
understanding
of
what
needs
to
be
done
for
a
horror
flick
in
too
good.
The
movie
takes
some
time
to
settle
down
in
the
first
half
but
gets
engaging
as
it
approaches
the
interval
block.
Second
half
comes
out
as
a
winner
with
enough
horror
elements
to
keep
you
spooked
throughout.
With
a
run
time
of
less
than
2
hours,
editor
has
done
a
decent
job
in
dishing
out
a
neat
thriller.
Ajay
Gnanamuthu's(director)
writing
also
stands
out
as
he
has
gone
ahead
with
a
no
nonsense
approach.
Overall
View:
Kudos
to
the
director
for
choosing
a
horror
subject
in
his
debut
movie
and
delivering
it
in
the
best
way
possible.
Demonte
Colony
is
not
for
the
weak-hearted.
For
some
of
the
best
scenes
from
the
movie,

Director
Scores
Debutant
director
Ajay
Gnanamuthu,
who
is
a
former
assistant
of
AR
Murgadoss
scores
in
a
big
way
through
Demonte
Colony.
His
next
project
will
now
be
awaited
with
keen
interest.
The
Only
Female
'Jangiri'
Madhumitha
has
played
the
only
female
role
in
the
movie.
Though
her
character
looks
forcefully
inserted,
director's
brave
attempt
to
come
up
with
a
script
that
doesn't
have
room
for
a
female
lead
is
appreciable.
Exploring
The
Unexplored
After
getting
drunk,
four
adventurous
friends
decide
to
explore
a
haunted
house
in
the
forbidden
area,
De
Monte
colony.
What
follows
next
will
definitely
spook
you
out.
Horror
Moments
Galore
The
director
has
come
up
with
sufficient
horror
moments
that
will
frighten
you
throughout.
Don't
dare
to
watch
this
one
if
you
can
be
frightened
easily.
Arulnithi's
Amazing
Choices
Arulnithi
has
only
a
handful
of
films
under
his
kitty.
But
his
amazing
ability
to
choose
his
scripts
has
been
appreciated
by
many.
Demonte
Colony
is
definitely
a
well-scripted
film.
One
Of
The
Best
Scene
Arulnithi's
expressions
are
appreciable.
The
supporting
cast
gets
equal
screen
space
and
they
all
have
delivered.
The
Aftermath
The
scene
where
the
group
of
friends
realize
about
their
'unfortunate'
last
night
is
shot
well.
How
a
drunkard's
thinking
can
sometimes
invite
trouble
has
been
highlighted
well.
In
The
Dark
As
mentioned
earlier
cameraman's
contribution,
especially
in
the
scenes
which
has
been
shot
during
the
night
time,
is
immense.
Will
Spook
You
Unlike
other
Tamil
horror
films,
which
tends
to
keep
the
horror
level
down,
Demonte
Colony
has
gone
the
conventional
way
and
manages
to
scare
you
to
the
fullest.
Arulnithi's
Next
Venture
Now
Arulnithi's
next
script
selection
will
be
looked
at
with
keen
interest
by
movie
buffs.
Can
he
come
up
with
something
even
better
than
Demonte
Colony?
Stay
tuned
to
know.
