Dies Irae Movie Review: Dies Irae By Rahul Sadasivan Is A Horror Movie You Have Never Seen Before. It Is A Horror Film That Is A Symphony Of Silence, Sorrows, And Supernatural Whispers. With Pranav Mohanlal In The Starring Role, This Is A Ghost Chill Slowly Creeping In With Fewer Screams And A Lot Of Dread With Heavy Emotions. Having Caused Ripples In Malayalam, The Movie Slides Into Telugu Theaters And Reminds Us That Even Terror Does Not Always Have To Scream It In Your Face, It Just Has To Blow A Puff Down Your Neck.
The Main Character Is Rohan (pranav Mohanlal), An Architect Who Has Succeeded In Life, But His Life Takes A Toll When His Girlfriend Kani (sushmitha Bhat) Suddenly Commits Suicide. It Starts As Grieving, But Gradually Transforms Into Insanity As The Previously Peaceful Hometown Of Rohan Turns Into A Ship Of Peculiar Events And Ghosts. Are These Spectral Echoes Of Kani At His Lost Love–Or Of The Darker Side Of The Breaking Mind Of Rohan?
The Narration Of Sadasivan Does Not Follow Conventions; There Are No Jump Scares, No Screamers In The Background. Rather, He Evokes A Sense Of Unease By Not Saying Anything, Casting Flickering Shadows, And The Enduring Sense That Something Is Strongly Amiss. The First Part Is Like A Fog, Indifferent And Silent, Whereas The Second Part Is Like A Knot And A Certain Uncomfortable Twist, And The Finale, Which Does Not Want To Relinquish Even With The Credits Rolling.
Pranav Mohanlal Gives Possibly One Of His Most Regulated Performances But–Measured, Restrained, And All Too Human. His Non-Verbal Communication Is More Than Words. The Appearance Of Gibin Gopinath Makes It Even Deeper And More Mysterious, And The Works Of Shehnad Jalal And Cinematography, As Well As The Haunting Score By Christo Xavier, Make Every Frame A Poem Of Fear.
However, Dies Irae Is Not A Film That Ordinary People Can Enjoy. It Is A Journey That Requires Time. It Can Be Too Slow In Its Pacing, And Ask Too Many Questions Without Answers. However, To Those Who Are Attracted To Psychological Fright That Haunts Instead Of Frightens, It Is A Chilling Contemplation Of Grief, Guilt, And The Invisible.
Conclusion: The Decision Is A Well-Made Slow-Paced Horror That Did Not Scream But Murmur. Poetic, Atmospheric, And Uncomfortable- Dies Irae Will Not Scare You To Death, But It Will Remain With You Shortly After Getting Out Of The Theatre.
