A brilliant film that helped define a genre
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
I have no idea what movie the rest of these reviewers saw, but it wasn't this one. We watched it because it was a NefFlix recommendation, probably because we've watched a number of foreign horror films.So, where do I start with this one? All of the dialogue sounds looped. It got so bad we actually were thinking about watching the dubbed version (and I usually HATE dubbed versions!) since we were going to hear looped dialogue anyway. Only there isn't a dubbed version... Stupid characters abound... Coincidences also abound... There is one exposition-heavy scene that actually has a character saying "I'm so confused" -- you and me both, bub... There are TWO musical numbers for no apparent reason... Oh, yeah, and at the end, NOTHING makes any sense.Now, I will say there is a movie in here somewhere. This just isn't it.
No Goddess killing the evil at the end or Any girl walking in white sari singing a love song, but it is hard to believe that it is a ghost thriller movie. Expectations were quite high even before it was released. The simple reason was because of the National award winning technicians such as PC Sriram, Srikarprasad, AS Lakshmi Narayanan, Shankar Ehsaan Loy and last but not the least Maddy. The Technical Part is quite outstanding. The colours used in the movie is not at all for a thriller movie but PC has taken us to another level. The Editing and the BG score is brilliant. The apartment set and the costumes give the viewer a perfect upper middle class effect. The Apt Artists makes it even better one. Maddy dominates the entire movie but his family members have done a controlled performance which is a add-on. The accolades should go to the director for congregating the greats in the industry.On whole a refreshing thriller for all Hindi fans and a Brand new great experience for the Tamil fans.I thank the movie crew for giving such a wonderful movie as it is long since i got my money worth watching a movie.PS: Lifts,TV's and Mobile phones becoming demons is inevitable.
Yes, finally a thriller! There is definitely a scarcity of movies belonging to this genre. Whether it be your Abbas-Mastan flicks or other supernatural suspense such as Raaz, 1920, and Bhoot, I'll be there! 13B is a great edge-of-the-seat thriller that keeps you as engrossed as the ladies in the film are with the TV serials. The film revolves around a mysterious TV show that mirrors and reveals what will happen in the protagonist's family's life that day. Everything is great--lighting, sound, etc. The plot is fascinating and the unraveling of the story behind the TV serial's characters is eye-popping! The violent flashbacks and disturbed characters leaves the viewers horrified! Madhavan, as always, has given a sincere and outstanding performance! You feel terrified with him. Good watch.
A low budget movie made a solid impact with its direction acting and screenplay. Storyline is awesomee...Hats off to Vikram.k.kumar.. He's one of the finest film maker.. though long way to go ..his future is bright..! Madhavan has done a fantabulous job..a neat and solid acting by him.got goosebumps after watching..!!First half of movie makes the base for the entire movie .. the later half will never make you to even slide an inch from ur seat .. A class suspense in end ... finishing of movie is awesome.. leaving some clues for its sequel..GO WATCH THIS MOVIE..WILL NEVER LET UR EXPECTATIONS DOWN!
