Tumbbad

A great-looking and at times effectively creepy tale about the curse of greed. The few songs were integrated nicely, the location where the main supernatural events take place has a wonderful claustrophobic quality to it, even the CGI creature design worked. I always like it when there's specific rules to a process that people can then creatively exploit, so the climax got a great 'oh nooo!' panicky reaction out of me. A simple story, told well.

Traditional folk horror, that wisely doesn't try to update the story itself for a modern audience and instead focuses on lush visuals and giving the simple but effective plot real weight. A passion project, apparently, and it shows; there's sweat and blood on the canvas. Especially blood. And the ending is excellent.

A good modern mythological tale.

2024'de #IzlediğimFilmler ; 69. Tumbbad (2018) Açgözlülük üzerine Hindi bakış açısı ile güzel bir deneyim yaşatıyor. Korku öğeleri de bence gayet yerinde. 7/10

Good work in cinematography, excellent job at creating atmosphere with the help of music and light and sound.

It was clear from the beginning how it was going to end, otherwise pretty good, well acted as far as I could tell taking cultural differences into account. Visually strong.

Yes, there is a couple of upbeat Indian songs, as well as many other peculiarities of Bollywood movies are in place, creating altogether an unforgettably weird backdrop for a horror. The story, but not the storytelling, is good enough, though.
