Vichithram is a horror mystery that is let down by its sluggish first half and a disappointing climax.
The film starts painfully slow by introducing multiple lead casts, their daily life and drags it for more than an hour with random incidences in their life that holds no relevance in the story. The film tries so hard to keep audience engaged with poor writing. Forced comic elements have been added yet it fails pathetically.
Infact the entire first hour can be skipped.
The film picks pace post interval wherein it enters a usual "Family moves to a haunted house" premise.
Multiple jump scare scenes that usually works are the strong points of the movie, although it gets predictable by the end.
The film ends as complete disappointment by the end as it shifts from a horror to a family drama.
Why so many characters have been added in the plot is a mystery.
Shine Chacko is the only one who carries the entire film which is sad.
Most of the drama happens with no proper reason and an average making makes it even hard to watch.
