Brahmadaitya (2020)
9/10
First of its kind ! Unique folk horror !
3 October 2020
I honestly had zero expectations from this movie. Had no idea it even existed as there were zero visible promotions before release. The film completely took me by surprise. It was funny, yet creepy. Though most of the jump scares were cliched and the horror scenes are loud, some of the creepy moments are really good, which is rare for a Bengali film. The amalgamation of folk tales and mythology with horror is interesting and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic. The film has a quirky black humor throughout that keeps things entertaining. However, the execution of a couple of scenes towards the end of the film is rather amateurish. Yet, the film redeems itself with a satisfying and fiery climax, followed by a rather funny and intriguing last scene. Hope to see more such folk horror films based on supernatural legends of Bengal.
