Ratsasan is a psychological thriller film directed by Ramkumar.
Starring Vishnu Vishal, Amala Paul, Radha Ravi & Kaali Venkat.
Arun is an ordinary guy who ends up in police uniform due to family pressure and his ambition was to become something else. Somehow he eventually drags into a serial killer case who targets school girls as the victims.
"What happens when a psycho killer story fan meets a real psycho killer"
Ratsasan is a thriller with no lag factor and you don't feel like you just spent around 3 hours in the theatre. Like any other thriller movie, some things are easily predictable and it took time to explain each scene in detail, which is a plus point. The mentioning of all the serial killings that have taken place in real life was a masterstroke from the director and a small introduction of his serial killer figure. This is the second Vishnu Vishal movie am watching and he carries the role of Arun with ease and conviction. Overall, It's an extremely well-packed thriller movie with effective background score by Ghibran (one theme is inspired by the interstellar movie) and a must watch from the theatre.
Verdict: Great

The Mist (2007) - Black & White Version

The Mist is an American science-fiction horror film directed by Frank Darabont.
Starring Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Laurie Holden, Andre Braugher & Toby Jones.
Following a terrible storm, David and his son head towards a local grocery store for supplies with the neighbor. Slowly mist starts to appear outside the store and a man screams "There's something in the mist".
The mist is a very popular movie and I guess, it's been eight years or more since I saw the colored version of this film. It is based on the king's novella The Mist and the ending is entirely different from the novel, Stephen King himself called it an anti-Hollywood thing. The director's preferred edition is Black & white and it is way cooler than the original colored one. It gives you the feeling of a new world and details of each shot is more evident to the eyes. Overall, Like Mad Max & Logan special editions, this is my preferred version too over the so-called theatrical color edition.
Verdict: Good
