Ezra (2017)

Lets talk about the utter disappointment that was Ezra. A Malayalam Horror, mystery,Thriller which just fails to entertain, especially there is hardly anything to be called horror in it and that coming from a man who jumps and screams at every generic jump scare says something.

the story revolves around a newly wed couple Ranjan and Priya played by Prithviraj Sukumaran and Priya Anand ,who transfer to kochi and move in to a old house (oh the house is not haunted to clear it out). when Priya buys a old Jewish box that contains the ghost of Abraham Ezra.

now i am keeping this sweet and simple because i really have nothing much good to say about this film, the only thing that i can say was it was different to see a Jewish exorcism, compared to the usual Christian ones that i see in Hollywood movies. that is it.

rant beings… there was hardly anything that engaged me in this film (literally made me yawn twice), the characters seems to bland with hardly anything going for them. there being many unwanted side characters didn’t help either they just take the screen space and stand seriously that all. the movie. now there is a twist towards the climax which is supposed to be like a big reveal and all but it hardly comes as anything manly i hardly care about the characters but mostly its executed so poorly. most of the things that happen in this film is purely for plot convenience.

Error time,
initially the ghost is shown as a girl or lady, but later it is revealed to be a man. come on how did that get missed while filming. the only thing left in my mind after this movie was what was the point of the few jump scene when the ghost is the wrong one and never again seen.

i never recommend this movie to anyone there are better thing to do, giving this movie a 2-3/10
