Murmur

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.

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.

Found-footage or POV movies may have been a rage several years ago in the West but it is still a new concept in India. Even slasher movies are unknown in India. Ouija boards are a novelty even in the West so the director had an uphill task using it in this movie. This movie offers nothing new that Western audiences have not seen. For its intended audience in India, it can be fun though. Older viewers who are used to formulaic masala movies may be shocked (no songs!) but younger audiences who are used to Youtube and social media will take to this movie like duck to water.

Things I did not like: Foul language used by almost everyone, even by the non-Tamil guy. No date/timestamps on the videos.

Things that could have been better: All characters seem to be voiced by easily recognizable dubbing artists used by the advertising industry; No explanation of the science behind how the slider moves on an Ouija board or the popular belief that it is driven by spirits.

I liked: The humour.

A half baked attempt. Its not even basic horror movie. No atmospheric feel, no horror mood. But the promotion of the movie was top notch very good strategy. A simple the movie director say pregnant women please don't watch this movie. That's the curiosity and social media marketing that hype got intense but the film was not genuine. One of the worst movie I ever saw. . . . . . the same day I saw another found footage horror film missing couple 2024 which was really creapy and disturbing at the end. That an example of how to made an found footage movie in a low budget. Murmur is said to be 2.5crore budget look like it does not cross 40L. Visually its not convincing for the budget.

I wonder who gave this movie 7+ rating. The worst movie i have come accross ever in any language. Came to make a comment creating an account just say "director stop making films". At least once if you have gone jungle trekking before making the movie u would understand. First from where did you get water for 3 days. Who sleep in the jungle in the open air. Who sleeps on the floor on top of leaves just like that do u even know how many insects and deadly creepy crawlies out there. Is it a picnic to walk about in the jungle just when u please. Who will charge ur equipments cameras for 3 days. First rule of the jungle we dont walk about at night. No ant, cockroach, dear, elephant or any damn creature in the so called jungle except for the ghost and 5 useless characters. Director give ur camera to a school kid or a you tuber to make a better movie. Producer if you have money to waste just give it to a orphanage already. A bloody shame not only for horror genre but also for the art of cinema. Disgraceful and disgusting to the max.
