At the outset, I am not necessarily a big fan of horror movies. Yet, The Deserving is far more than just a horror film-it's a poignant exploration of the human psyche, masterfully wrapped in a chilling narrative. The movie takes a step beyond the typical genre conventions, delving deep into the inner turmoil of its main character, reflecting the fragility of the human mind.
In a society where mental illness is increasingly prevalent, The Deserving invites viewers to confront the haunting realities of personal struggle. It paints a raw, relatable picture of how the protagonist's fears and insecurities manifest as external threats-blurring the lines between reality and imagination. "We could see ourselves relating to the storyline," not just because of its supernatural elements, but because it so skillfully mirrors the very real anxieties and emotions many of us grapple with in our daily lives.
Special shoutout to Venkat Sai Gunda and team for outstanding acting, screenplay and direction.
