Demonte Colony Plot: Four friends Srinivasan(Arulnithi), Raghavan, Vimal and Sajith decide to unravel the mystery behind De Monte Colony, a well known area in Chennai, which is believed to be haunted for ages now. They visit a haunted house and bring back a chain from the place they visit.
What are the consequences faced by them for provoking a possible dark spirit? What happens when Srinivasan is possessed, is said in an intriguing fashion. Performances: Arulnithi emotes well with his fear invoking expressions but his dialogue delivery needs to be taken care of, one might feel.
All the other supporting actors have delivered especially Ramesh Thilak of Soodhu Kavvum fame who looks like a natural actor. It's a bold move by the director to go ahead with the film sans a female lead which has actually worked in favour of the movie. Technicalities: Demonte Colony is technically strong.
The amazing cinematography of Aravind Singh who uses unique angles and almost aces the technique of shooting a horror flick(usage of lights) is something to watch out for. Other positive in the technical
aspect is Keba's background score. Though being his debut movie as a music director, his re-recording and understanding of what needs to be done for a horror flick in too good. The movie takes some time to
settle down in the first half but gets engaging as it approaches the interval block. Second half comes out as a winner with enough horror elements to keep you spooked throughout. With a run time
of less than 2 hours, editor has done a decent job in dishing out a neat thriller. Ajay Gnanamuthu's(director) writing also stands out as he has gone ahead with a no nonsense approach.
Director Scores Debutant director Ajay Gnanamuthu, who is a former assistant of AR Murgadoss scores in a big way through Demonte Colony. His next project will now be awaited with keen interest.
