Murmur

Murmur" (2025) attempts to deliver a psychological thriller with a focus on suspense and mystery, but ultimately falls flat due to its weak plot, uninspired execution, and lack of genuine thrills. The film's attempts at creating tension and intrigue are hampered by predictable twists, underdeveloped characters, and a general lack of originality.

The film's narrative revolves around a series of mysterious events that unfold in a secluded setting, attempting to create an atmosphere of paranoia and suspense. However, the plot feels convoluted and lacks a clear sense of direction, making it difficult to engage with the story or connect with the characters.

The performances are underwhelming, with the actors struggling to bring life to their poorly written characters. The attempts at creating tension often feel forced and artificial, failing to generate any genuine sense of unease or suspense.

The film's visual aesthetic is bland and uninspired, lacking the creativity and artistry needed to create a truly immersive and unsettling atmosphere. The soundtrack is equally forgettable, failing to enhance the film's emotional impact.

The film's attempts at social commentary or psychological exploration feel shallow and underdeveloped, lacking the depth and nuance needed to make a meaningful impact. The ending is predictable and unsatisfying, leaving the viewer with a sense of disappointment and wasted time.

Overall, "Murmur" is a disappointing thriller that fails to deliver on its premise. Its weak plot, uninspired execution, and lack of genuine thrills make it a forgettable and ultimately frustrating cinematic experience.

Cheap and tacky copy of various, B grade, Hollywood horror movies, made into a D grade, Tamil movie. Tacky script, direction, and acting.

Totalky illogical. If this is a, lost and found footage movie, assuming that every scene was shot continuously on one or two cameras then did the camera, edit the scenes by itself from one scene to another?!!! - Now THAT'S spooky!

Dumb characters (and actors) walking around in an unknown forest at night looking for each other, s reecging at the top of their annoying voices...Nonsense.

The girls are useless and only there for cheap thrills under the guise of 'acting'. The guys are seriously pathetic cartoon characters!

All artists swearing, drinking and smoking trying hard to appear 'progressively Western'

Embarrassing movie and a waste of time. The forest in the dark was much more interesting to watch.

While the plot was weak and the acting fairly average, the film still managed to deliver some solid jump scares. Given how low my expectations have become for Tamil horror films-thanks to the many cringe-worthy horror-comedy hybrids-I was pleasantly surprised.

Unlike most Tamil horror movies that awkwardly try to mix comedy with scares, this one took a more serious approach, which I appreciated. Some scenes genuinely spooked me and reminded me of Paranormal Activity in their execution.

That said, the dialogue and its delivery left a lot to be desired, and the casting could have been stronger. There were also several moments where logic went out the window-one of those cases where the story would've ended if the characters had made a single smart decision.

As someone who's seen countless Ouija board scenes in horror films, the basics are pretty clear-you form a circle, not a straight line. But in this movie, the scene felt completely off. Everyone sitting in a neat row just for the sake of camera coverage? It was laughable.

Still, despite its flaws, I'd say it was a decent attempt at a straight horror film.

I usually support Tamil horror films, but Murmur is nothing but a massive letdown. The whole movie feels like a gimmick wrapped in fancy packaging. The story is weak, the acting is average at best, and the "found footage" concept is poorly executed - half the time you can't even understand what's happening on screen.

What makes it worse is the way this movie is being pushed everywhere online. All the 4-star and 5-star reviews clearly feel like paid promotions. Don't fall for the hype. It's not horror - it's boredom with background noise. Waste of time, waste of money.

Kne single word is garbage.

I'm so mad that this movie make me to write a review for the first time ever.

Just like many people I got scammed by the influencers. I Really appreciate the effort and trying found footage concept first in inda. But the screenplay is worst.

Why is mangai is playing with everyone in this film expect to kill ? She is opening the zips of the tent, running around the tent, throw the bottle but She is so shy to be on the camera. And the jump scars are the worst. You will see it miles away. The actors did a great job, the technical team did a amazing work. But the concept and screenplay are worst.
