Pizza 3: The Mummy

Screenplay was terrible with such cliche portrayal of mother and daughter scenes. The actor who played the mother was overdoing it terribly making the whole scenario less sympathetic. You don't need to overact to convince the audience. Ashok Selvan was the only saving Grace. Some scenes did manage to give the scares especially the haunting scenes in the kitchen but the story line was so predictable. Just a junk of scenes just stitched togather. The mummy relic had no significance to the story. The brother who played the cop looked and sounded so forced. Overall, waste of time and effort. Pls don't watch.

Well sadly, I will start with the bad, because the bad is mostly present here: there are very few redeeming aspects to it, as Pizza 3 borrows heavily elements from the Asian cinema, and by Asian cinema I mean Chinese, Korean, Japanese and so on.

The movie is structured in 3 different stories, that overall work as an anthology that bind together at the very end, but the problem is we as viewers didn't require this much time with any of them. A movie this long feels boring and forced instead of offering some proper tension, jump scares or mystery.

There is some mystery to it and a lot of wannabe jump scares that are so overused and so copy cat from the Asian cinema that it feels like I'm in the year 2000 again.

As an Indian production it does have those long, close up shots, action scenes that are way too overly dramatic for no reason and a lot of moments where you need to shut your brain off because there is no reason to what's happening. But, no singing whatsoever so that's a plus.

All in all, Pizza 3 is definitely not something to recommend as it is way too long, reuses plots from the past, fails in being scary, still hangs on to that Indian cinematic style that doesn't work here and is too silly at times.

Cheers!

The first 10 minutes, I really thought what a wonderful plot and so much potential the director has. The interview scene was well crafted .The Ouija app was a new and beautiful idea. But, how did the director use it? He completely wasted that idea. A Korean director would have capitalised with such wonderful idea in hand. You showed that the first ghost connected with the app, and then what happened, no information about it. It was never brought up anywhere later in the movie. There were many jump care screens which were brilliantly made. The kitchen scare scenes were really good... You were able to do that without much make up or CGI.

It's obvious this is a low budget movie. You've to spend time on a tight screenplay if you want to make a masterpiece with a limited budget. And, he was there at one moment, but suddenly he drops the ball.

If the ghosts are so powerful and can kill by itself, why did it involve the hero in the killing in first place? Was the motive of this even explained? And why was it not able to use the same powers to do the last kill? Just the director ran out of ideas is it?

This movie is an absolute junk. More than a movie this is a compromise. Compromise on everything.

Inside sources say the producer didn't give proper funding for the movie and never paid most of the actors who in return refused to dub their parts. But that's not it. At least the story and screenplay could've been better. This is such a template half baked horror cr@p. Every character is irritating and every twist is annoying.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Direction Story Screenplay Music Production value Casting Performances And lastly There is no significance for the mummy doll and hence there is no justification for the title Pizza-the Mummy.

Height of lethargic writing and filmmaking: The ghost makes a delicious sweet in the restaurant and a guy gives an order for the sweet for 35kgs. The restaurant guys take the order and give the bill. You know how much the bill is ? 3500 Indian rupees. So 1kg is 100 Rupees? I seriously doubt the quality. It should be bad than this movie itself.

I made this account specifically to write this reviews. After seeing rating of 7.6, I thought this movie would be a good watch. Now, I feeling the ratings are fake.

It feels like I wasted two hours sitting through this movie waiting for the plot to get more interesting. It is a cliche plot, half baked story, click bait type of title with no significance of the Mummy whatsoever. It seems the movie makers have save the plot for another sequel.

Plus points: None.

I want to mention any plus points in the movie but there are none. First half felt promising. The second half extremely disappointing. The more excited you feel in the first half, the more disappointing you will feel in the second half.
