When I started watching the acclaimed South Korean thriller “Burning”, I was expecting a movie on the lines of other suspenseful dramas from the country. Normally, South Korean Cinema offers a straight narrative with a probable twisted ending. But I was treated to a film which may underwhelm you for most parts, but once it ends, will make you ponder real hard on the tons of scenes and dialogues. A rare film which has a…

Split has been in some news lately. The horror-thriller, made on a budget of just about $10 millions, has already made more than $120 millions in USA alone! Directed by Manoj Night Shyamalan, who was considered once upon a time as a master of twisted thrillers, faced a lot of criticism lately for some badly received duds. Sixth Sense catapulted him to stardom while Unbreakable and Signs maintained his reputation.

Clint Eastwood’s disturbing yet surreal thriller Mystic River is one of my favorite films of all time. We all know how brilliant the execution was and how well the cast did in the movie. Some consider it as the movie with the “best” lead ensemble cast – Sean Penn and Tim Robbins won Oscars for Best Actor and Supporting Actor respectively, a first for any film after BenHur (1959). But what shook me most was…

Manoj Night Shyamalan was known as the God of twisted tales once. After the unprecedented success of his debut feature film The Sixth Sense, M Night Shyamalan delivered a few solid films (Unbreakable, Signs) before sliding down in his career. Lady in the Water bombed, The Happening was panned. And after The Last Airbender and After Earth people thought it was the end of the road for the once called maverick director. Cut to 2015,…

Shia LaBeouf had a rise to stardom in the film industry thanks to the popular lead act in the big surprise hit Disturbia. This was followed up by the smash hit Transformer series. But then, mainly due to poor choice of films, Shia got lost in mediocrity. The trailer of Man Down came up on the internet a few days back and, not surprisingly, it is being called as the “return vehicle” for Shia LaBeouf….

Don’t Breathe was a little known film few weeks back, but now its probably the toast of the world!

Probably the most thrilling movie made on “home invasion gone wrong”. The story, in short, is about 3 burglars who try to rob a house of a…
