Connect

My friends made plan to watch this movie. I didn't even knew that this movie was out. This was my first experience of watching a horror thriller in cinema. The movie was good but there was nothing new in the story. Yes, they used the concept of lockdown and quarantine which made the story little different but the overall concept was old one. I felt that that movie was heavily inspired from Hollywood movie, The Exorcist. The runtime and pacing helps the movie from becoming boring.

Overall, it was a good movie but I think it could have been little bit better and it would have been better it would have been released on OTT.

Being a Tamil movie, most of the dialogues are kept in English for only the elite audience. Keeping that aside, there is nothing new in this movie if you have watched Exorcist or similar movies involving exorcism.

Also the timing of the movie is very late. This should have been made when there were lockdowns and ambulance noises sounding all through the day.

There is absolutely no real story or connection that one could get with the movie. Just because someone has a camera and call sheet of big actors, such movies are made copying yestee years block buster Hollywood movies. Total waste of time.

There is nothing very original or creative in the movie. Its about a teenage girl getting possessed in peak Covid times and how a pastor with her mother deals with it.

The initial scenes are touching because it reminds you of the enormous sacrifices the medical community did ,during the Corona outbreak. The lead character Susan's husband is a doctor who after servicing Covid patients 24x7 himself dies of same. And due to the restrictions, his wife and kid cant even visit him in his last moments. That moved me more than the possession and other stuff which came later. Its really sad we have forgotten about the lives and sacrifices so soon, its not even being discussed in the National elections.

The characters are most of the time, communicating via Zoom, this includes the exorcism.

Overall one time watch if you like horror movies. Nothing special about the movie.

Asusual Horror exorcism story with some genuine jump scares . Story and screenplay wise it offers nothing new except for the COVID backdrop . Movie completely relied on technical aspect . Technically well executed . Visuals , Music and sound effects were really great . Eventhough it's a usual horror flick it somehow manages to deliver some genuine jump scares . Cast did a great job . Overall a decent horror flick to watch it on big screen . Movie is worthy for theater experience , so give it a try .

( Note : Ashwin Saravanan previous movies had good writing , but don't expect more from this movie )

The film is clever and easily the best horror film made in India in the last ten years. Aswin Saravanan, Vignesh Shivan, and their team have created a story that parallels a demonic possession plot within a doctor's family, a COVID lockdown, and a home footage zoom call. The cherry on top was the stellar star-studded cast and performance. The soundtrack, effects, and editing were all fantastic.

I appreciate the experience, team.

Please disregard the negative reviews and ratings; the movie is unquestionably worth seeing. The horror film Connect is well-made and technically sound. It has all the appropriate jump scares and creepy elements you would expect from a horror film and keeps you interested the entire time. It is such a welcome change from what you typically see in Indian horror films. The team deserves praise.👍
