Best movie of this year hands down!

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

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

Story: 3 guys who live a miserable, fateful life, that see's no end to their woes, on a night drop by a haunted mansion known as Demonte Colony. Legend says that a Portuguese landlord, in revenge for his wife's terminal illness, he suspects and starts killing all the Indian Servants in his household, and when people from the neighboring village comes to take revenge, he destroys the entire household along with him and his wife. But one of the characters who took his 3 friends to the haunted house, finds the necklace used by Demonte's wife, and steals it as it is precious and it's worth in current market for 10 million rupees or more..But happens with them after the robbery, kills them at the end, except for Sajith A.K.A sappa who delivers the chain back at Demonte's colony, which is why he survived and srini who escaped through the window passed away..coz he broke the rule to escape and he didn't return the chain ...Pro's:Brilliant Screenplay.. Excellent Cinematography...According to the budget given Thrilling Storyline, Excellent twists in the story...several unexpected sequences. Excellent Direction...well directed by a newcomer...Interesting show of level design and the background of the movie.Brilliant thinking in making the character's house as the haunted location, making the necklace the source of the haunting.Great acting shown by the main character and the comedian. Focus was well given to the haunting rather than on the main character.Removed all unnecessary factors and focused only on the main story No heroines, side story, extra stuffCons: BGM wasn't that effective, maybe due to budget, but movies such as pizza , which had excellent BGM.VFX was also on the average..2 extra characters was really not effective except at the end.Overall: A brilliant movie in the routine boring Horror Genre of Tamil Cinema, this movie makes sense how money is not required heavily to direct a good horror story.9/10, Cheers, Max

Before actually reviewing let's quickly analyse the horror fever in Tamil movies. It obliviously seems to be hitting high this season. All horror movies have done well in the box office proving ghosts have become more bankable for producers than big stars. More over thesehorror flicks doesn't require high budget becoming producer friendly.All the recent flicks in this genre had more comedy and less scares but "Demonte Colony" come as the coin changer. Director Ajay Gnanamuthu has made his debut with some perfect ingredients to present a creepy tale that might make you petrified. Haunted houses are always been most sought after subject when it comes to horror stories. Demonte Colony is a story four friends who lives in housing board in Pattinampakkam, Chennai and their dare to visit a house which is believed to be haunted for years. They come back with an evil spirit which puts them in a situation which has no escape. In short the after effects of visiting a ghost house. So the paranormal activity is the rest of the plot. For a ghost story the director has also ensured a quick period flashback with a killing spree. This is a typical low budget movie with no A-list actors. In fact the story completely revolves around the four protagonists among which are the Mounaguru fame Arulnithi who has the boy next door image , Ramesh Selvan and other two where new faces. All four of them had equal screen space. The antagonist played by a Finnish actor who has the natural built and looks which can scare you enough. The major highlight of the movie would be the length which runs less than 2 hours like a Hollywood movie. Screenplay was another plus which had harmless start and as it paced gradually ensures to spook you. The ultimate strength was the BGM and the art direction which entirely takes us through the supernatural world. VFX was good considering the budget of the movie. Mute light cinematography is what it takes to give you the paranormal mood. One last thing I liked about this film was it had no routine exorcisms exercises by priests. On the negative side the plot had lots of logic holes but what does logic have to in this kind of movie.Verdict: Yet another haunted house flick which has all it takes to declare as a well made supernatural thriller.

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!
