Yaamirukka bayamey
Director: Deekay’s
Year: 2014
yamirukka bayamey
Yaamirukka Bayamey is an interesting film that combines well-known stylistic elements of the horror and a gory looking ghost and so on with an adult humour. It is a surprisingly well-made ‘horror-comedy’ that succeeds in continuously exploiting our irrational fear of the unknown even while nudging us to laugh at it. Thus, we have sound to manipulate emotion, visual imagery to create scary atmospherics, and scene cuts that escalate the tension to the maximum before the final moment. All in all, this is a fun summer film and should work regardless of whether one believes in the supernatural or not. Whether the ghost haunting Kiran’s ancestral property or is it a conman’s master moves?

Muni
Director: Raghava Lawrence
Year: 2011
muni
Muni is entertaining in parts with comedy, songs, glamour and stunts. But at times it tests your patience, with its insipid story line, over-the-top performance of Raj Kiran in a bit role, Add all the horror films and you get a masala horror mix-Muni! Ganesha is a happy go lucky young man who lives with his parents and grandmother in a haunted house where the spirit of Muniyandi is hovering around.
Muni was a good guy who did everything for the slum dwellers of Royapuram. His best friend the local MLA, uses him to his advantage. But when Muni demands betterment of the poor and downtrodden fellow slum dwellers, he and his daughter are brutally killed.
Muni’s body is burned and the ashes are put in the river, but his powerful Muni locket is dropped accidentally in Dhandapani’s guest house, which is rented out to Ganesh and family. Muni comes back to life using Ganesh’s body to settle scores with the bad men who killed him! On the whole, Muni does not make for great horror film.

Shock
Director: Thiagarajan
Year: 2004
shock
Shock is a rather unique horror flick, especially to Tamil cinema. It avoids special effects, violence or gore, instead relying on atmosphere and anticipation to give us the chills. The flip side of the above technique is that the movie is slow-paced. While there are enough shocks scattered around to avoid the feeling that the movie is dragging, the overuse of sequences that increase our anticipation before ending in an anti-climactic manner leads to an impression of watching a very slow movie.
