Review of Tumbbad

Tumbbad (2018)
10/10
Folklore is an excellent base for great horror
24 September 2022
This Indian horror outing is a foray into Indian folklore and for some reason it makes excellent horror. This is an finely crafted movie that has excellent cinematography and equally excellent sound design and it has an incredible atmosphere. This is a story about gods, greed and the attempt to make ends meet, even if it means angering the gods. It has gothic horror and a fantastic set design from the inside of a gods womb to rain lashing down outside, it never disappoints. It doesn't go for the easy kill or scare jump, this one will come creeping up on you. Far superior to most western horror movies and then it is fresh and original. It is subtitled and in Hindi, the basic story is laid out in the beginning of the film, so keep your eyes peeled and spool back, it you missed something, that will make this movie much easier to understand.
