The Priest is not a bad movie by any means. The starting was a bit flat, especially cos of the role done by the police officer (Sivadas Kannur), who was atrocious. Also felt that his and Saniya's dubbing or pronunciation was terrible in parts. The story picks up steam though once the junior artiste's story takes precedence and daresay the middle parts were pretty good and intriguing. I was getting feels of the English movie Orphan at times, but the director wasn't that adventurous and went for a bland ending. Yea, and so the promising middle section is completely destroyed with a cliche and bland ending. Manju Warrier has nothing to do than play a totally undercooked character. And the director resorts to Deus ex machina techniques a lot towards the end to move the story forward and finish the movie (which was pathetic). It is definitely an okay movie, but the wait for a good paranormal thirller in malayalam continues.
