Ezra (2017): Horrors of Indian Cinema are meant only for lame comedy but not for content or scare scenes.True horrors never try to entertain us rather it makes us feel suffocated with nail biting suspense,shocking jump scares.Ezra,a 2017 Malayalam horror film starring Prithviraj and Priya Anand,impressed with its trailer.How is the movie? Plot: Ranjan and Priya moved to Cochin and Priya bought an antique Jewish box. When she opens the box the spirit in the box came out and possess her. Then later Ranjan knowing that the box is not an ordinary box it is a Dybbuk box which contains a malicious spirit of a dead person.The film depicts how he is going to save his wife from this malicious spirit.

My review: Ezra has the identical premise of 2012 American blockbuster The Possession.The entire concept of Dybbuku is lifted from the movie.

Even the scare scenes are inspired from lot of Hollywood horrors like The conjuring,Sinister,Insidious and Paranormal Activity.

Flashback is similar to Prithviraj's earlier blockbuster Ennu Ninte Moideen.

Even though if the movie is not original still it keeps our attention till the end.Except a routine ending,movie has good moments and decent jump scares.

Prithviraj is brilliant in his role.Priya Anand is adequate.

BGM is spooky and elevated the mood of the film.

Cinematography is the major pro of the movie.

So,Ezra is an Indian version of The Possession and has lot of scenes inspired from Hollywood Horrors but still keeps us engaged till climax.

My rating 6.25/10
