In yet another tale of what could have been, Irul builds up a superb premise consisting of an intricately woven set of characters in a delightfully macabre setting, only to end in a simplistic fashion that denied the climax the narration deserved.
The film excels in every technical department, especially the exceptional sound design. I was given jolts at many junctures and the depth effects given to the noises of water leaking had me look around to see if in fact some pipes were left open in my own washroom!
But alas, the superb making style and the intense performances of the three leads is undone by a culmination of events that left a lot to be desired.
A one time watch, purely for the classy making and the phenomenal performances. But if you are looking for a truly well-rounded whodunnit, this isn't it.
