How it scared people

The vibe

Shot in a black-and-white so dense the candlelight seems to fight for room, Sadasivan's 17th-century Kerala chiller strands a fleeing singer in a crumbling mana with its lord and his cook. Mammootty plays that lord as pure appetite and won his seventh Kerala State best actor award for it. About power more than ghosts, and it takes its time.
