Despite being slow paced at the beginning and despite being a low budget movie, the story was well written. I was looking for a good horror movie to watch & found this. It's really nice movie. It was intense towards the end. I just love the ending. This movie is worth watching but it is slow paced until we reach to the main part, the central focus point of the movie. There were unnecessary scenes to lengthen the movie. Keeping that aside, the story is very short, could have been completed in 45 minutes or 1 hour. Still, this is one of the best , not the greatest, but one of my favourite stories to watch in horror genre. It is worth watching but with skip button as there are unwanted scenes included. So, if you trim them from the movie, this is still worth watching. My review is 5 out of 10. This is not a bad movie at all, you just need the forward button to skip some scenes that were unnecessarily added. That's the only fallback in this movie. You will love the story.
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

I love international horror movies, Turkish, Russian, Japanese, chinese, korean, Thailand and so on. With one or two exceptions, I have yet to see a remotely scary Tamil / Indian film. I'm not looking for extravagant CGI or makeup, just halfway decent acting, storyline, script, directing. This has nothing except the standard idiotic comic relief that does nothing for the story. The cookie cutter song and dance scenes that add nothing to the story. Musical rip off from the movie Psycho AND a very badly recreated video clip of the movie Ju On. I've seen better 0 budget films made by first time film students or highschoolers. Skip it.
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
