Needless to say that I had never heard about this 2022 Indian horror movie titled "Aseq", as I happened to stumble upon it by random chance here in 2023. But the movi's cover was really interesting, and thus I opted to sit down and watch it.
Writers Gauri Karnik and Sarim Momin put together a storyline that rather failed to entertain me, especially since there wasn't much of a red thread throughout the course of the 106 minutes that the movie ran for. And so many things in the narrative felt random and completely out of context, as if director Sarim Momin was simply just making things up as the filming of "Aseq" was progressing. And that made sitting through "Aseq" quite an ordeal.
The acting performances in "Aseq" were fair enough, despite the fact that the actors and actresses had very little of any proper contents to work with. Suffice it to say that I wasn't familiar with a single performer on the cast list, given my limited exposure to the Indian cinema.
For a horror movie, then I will say that "Aseq" was a swing and a miss. Writers Gauri Karnik and Sarim Momin just didn't manage to deliver anything scary, much less anything actually interesting or particularly enjoyable.
If you enjoy horror movies, like I do, then do yourself a favor and skip on "Aseq", because it simply isn't worth the time, money or effort. Some of us suffered through this so you don't have to.
My rating of "Aseq" lands on a three out of ten stars.
