shocktober #28 - horror film not from USA/Japan OR Italy
absolute blast from beginning to end. My first RGV and i am already sold on the guy & fully get the hype for him. The film fully commits to the "bottled" premise it sets up of one location & 3 characters but the entire house is explored so well by sweeping & expressive camera movements that the spacial geography becomes so apparent that by the 2nd act we completely understand which character is running to which area of the house & it really creates a sense of tangibility.
The 3 characters are all so unique & memorable. Manoj Bajpayee steals the fucking show with one of the most intentionally annoying performances ever, Urmila plays a great "damsel in distress" before turning the whole trope on it's head & while Sushant is definitely the weakest of the three, his inclusion adds great tension to the film at points where the setting & premise starts faltering.
One of the most tense, gripping & fun watches I've had in a looong time.
