Black Review

 

Black, directed by KG Subramani is an impressive blend of horror and thriller, infused with time loop elements. Starring Jeeva and Priya Bhavani Shankar, the film follows Vasanth and Aaranya, a couple eager to settle into their new home. However, their peaceful vacation quickly turns upside down as they find themselves trapped, and Vasanth must untangle the supernatural mysteries hiding within their Villa. This unique premise sets the stage for a suspenseful journey filled with twists and unexpected turns.

The first half of the film is brisk, effectively introducing characters and establishing the eerie atmosphere. The pacing keeps viewers hooked and the interval arrives at just the right moment, leaving audiences eager to see what happens next. With a gripping intermission block, the film successfully sets the tone for the suspense that follows.

After the interval, the film dives deep into the concept of time loop, where familiar events start repeating in interesting yet confusing ways. This aspect adds a layer of complexity and suspense as viewers are kept on their toes, wondering how Vasanth will break free from the cycle. The film maintains a sense of mystery, ensuring that the loops do not feel tedious. While there are moments of confusion, this only heightens the tension, making the experience feel engaging.

Sam CS’s music elevates the film further, with an eerie background score that complements the chilling atmosphere perfectly. The limited number of songs, including an intro and a love track, are well placed and add emotional depth to the story. The sound design plays a crucial role in enhancing the tension, keeping audiences on edge throughout the film.

Over all this film is a captivating horror thriller that successfully blends together supernatural and time loop elements. While the screenplay could have been worked a bit better, the film's strengths overcomes its shortcomings. If you are looking for an engaging movie that keeps you guessing, this is definitely worth a watch.
