    Demonte Colony A thriller with Twist n Turns

    Demonte colony is a roller coastal ride with twist. Director R. Ajay Gnanamuthu scripted the movie himself. Main factor of the movie is that this is not a usual Horror movie like Ghost/Evil coming and scarring you inseconds and vanish off. This movie makes you the feel of the invisible Ghost who is haunting down in behind. 1:30 hours of movie is inside a house were we don't get bored nor the grips get loosed. Director cum screen writermakes us gelled on to the screen with the Scenes. One main part which i noticed is the background score by Keba Jeromiah, ( reference is from bernard herrmann Psycho) even though he had played a vital role in elevating the scenes. Am sure its a 2 time watch for everyone who are the fans of Horror thriller genere

    Fair horror mostly with the narration style

    It's a good break to the chain of horror comedies. There isn't much elements that will make u jump or scream from your seats but it will hold u in the edge of your seat in the second half.

    The first is very average becoz of the over exposition of the characters which wasn't needed for the rest of the movie. It could have been used for adding more elements of horror instead of starting the story in the second half. With the good camera work the BGM is good to create anxiety but it's very normal, (And it's really not needed to tear the audience's ear drum even when its on the script).

    With many of the horror sequences present in the narration are highly inspired from Hollywood and visual effects just supporting it and not lifting it up Demonte Colony is one time watch for sure!

    A must-watch horror with just the right touch of comedy!

    Superb acting mixed with humour that actually fits, unlike what we see now nowadays where they just randomly throw something in that completely throws the viewer off due to the sudden, unexpected and not needed change of pace. There was a twist early in the film that completely had me shook and thinking like "How could I fall for that?".

    Its a must-watch

    I might have rated this movie down, but please bare with me for my explanation. I would say the genre is now changing and movies have adapted to be funny, yet with a few jump scares. In that pattern, this is a flip-version. No fun at all, only scares. So good job movie in bringing the crux of the horror flicks back to us. Apart from that, the movie is very flat Honesty in movies will always strike a chord, but when you mix a lot of Hollywood movies and try to recreate the same scare, no movie no! That's just a cocktail of laziness. Seriously, make movies with a purpose. The premise was about a colony in Chennai, which was very intriguing, in that sense it should have been either a "Found footage" genre or a horror-based on real events. In the end it's neither of these two, which is very disappointing. If this was your story you might as well chosen any place to script your story, just does not make sense.

    First, the camera speed, by god, the slowest i have ever seen, moving from one frame to other almost made me sleepy. I understand the movie is waiting for the peeking factor, but in the end it just makes it so boring. The second, the murders were so freaking confusing, here i think the director has made a mess of things. The plots were way too convoluted and it just keeps adding in more. Plot twists are good when done in moderation, you do more, people just lose interest and when the dots don't connect you are just making a mockery of your ignorance and you still think you are way too clever, wrong again.

    I understand the purpose of the ghost, but why kill a astronomer for no reason? would his survival be of any difference? Make jump scares relevant to the plot, don't make the plot revolve around jump scares, that is just a weak script. I think many people like this movie specifically because they weren't expecting a total horror, rather they were in for the horror-comedy, which has been floating for years now. The major up-selling factor is the actors, who have made a really phenomenal effort, much appreciated. Apart from that i would say its a self-convoluted movie which does not know where to go and decided to end when it can't go the distance.

    You wouldn't be disappointed, but i was. because i expected something legit and all i got was a ready made story from various sources

    New Experience in Tamil cinema audiences

    The movie plot revolves around the demonte in chennai who was a french king man lives in the palace long ago which is it is in the alwarpet area.The story is about four people who goes to the demonte palace after more 100 years and one of them steals the demonte wife's necklace to make money.After that the four of them were strucked in their house by the demonte spirit and how they can survive or not is the one line story . Arulnidhi as shreni who done a hero and the producer of this movie done his job neat.The next one is acted in movies like soodhu kavum he done a character as vimal.The other two faces are new.Director done a script with neat screenplay.Vfx is superb in this movie and the BGM is also a great one.since we can feel little bit reference from 1408 movie but is OK.So overall is above average movie with neat in all aspects and fulfill in all aspects especially in the length of the movie
