Bhavana is an architect who is tasked with demolishing a temple to construct a new residential building. After this incident, she is haunted by an evil presence. Bhavana's father dies suddenly in an accident, and she starts experiencing paranormal activities in the house where she is staying. As she tries to uncover the truth, a series of murders occur. What is the cause of these events? What secret lies behind her father's death? With the help of the police, Bhavana attempts to find out. The movie "Door" answers these questions with suspense and fear.
Director Jai Dev has based the story on a real-life incident that took place in Kerala.
After a long gap, Bhavana appears in a Tamil film in this role, playing the character of Mithra. Bhavana, who has no belief in God or ghosts, faces numerous challenges when a curse and a ghost begin to torment her. The movie effectively narrates how these forces affect her life.
The scenes where Bhavana hears strange noises and sees figures in her house create a spooky atmosphere, but Bhavana's calm demeanor and lack of reaction reduce the horror element. One emotionally powerful moment is when Bhavana regrets not speaking to her father, with whom she had a strained relationship before his death.
Although Bhavana hides the supernatural events happening around her from others, her reasons for doing so remain unclear.
The story picks up momentum when Bhavana finally reveals to Police Inspector Ganesh Venkataraman about a woman’s figure that has appeared to her, prompting an investigation that leads to more twists and turns.
The film also stars Jayaprakash, Sri Ranjani, Nandakumar, Krish, Pandi Ravi, Ramesh Arumugam, Kapil, Bayri Vino, Roshini, Siddiq, and Vinolia.
Production and Music:
The film is produced by Naveen Rajan. Varun Unni’s music occasionally creates an eerie atmosphere, though it lacks sharp moments of tension that would have enhanced the scares in the film.
Cinematography:
Gautam G’s cinematography brings a sense of eerie realism to the film, though there are no truly terrifying moments to captivate the audience. This lack of intense horror may make it less engaging for some viewers.
Direction:
Director Jai Dev has created the story based on a real incident that happened in a village in Kerala. The movie features many twists and unpredictable scenes, though at times, unnecessary dialogues slow the pace of the story. A tighter script could have made the film more gripping.
Final Thoughts:
"Door" is a ghost film with minimal scares and a more suspense-driven narrative, making it stand apart from typical horror films.
