The Haunting of Hill House | Netflix | When the genre is Horror, this is the closest to perfection one can ever get.

October 17, 2018 J 0

I wouldn’t call myself a sucker for the genre ‘horror’, nor am I usually inclined to get started on a series if its anything but a thriller. The trailer was interesting yet it was not that enticing. This is why The Haunting of Hill House (A Netflix Original) haunted and thrilled me […Click here to read more]

September 30, 2018 J 0

After a disastrous dud with the previous outing, Mani Ratnam is well and truly back to his Nayakan days with Chekka Chivantha Vaanam.

Safe | Netflix Original | Harlan Coben played it safe on this one.

May 24, 2018 J 0

If The Five , Sherlock and Dexter did not intrigue you enough to give it a go at the new Netflix Original Safe , i doubt anything would. Harlan Coben’s Safe sticks to the generic formula that worked so well in The Five and is a pretty interesting watch. It, however, does not follow the upward trajectory in terms of entertainment […Click here to read more]

It’s an ode to the content of the script and comic timing of the actor that Ryan Reynolds is. There was […Click here to read more]

Money Heist | La casa de papel | Netflix | A classic thriller with more oomph than dud moments.

April 26, 2018 J 0

Money Heist came in as a highly recommended series , by many of my friends and it did not disappoint. Its an ‘almost masterpiece’ which at times failed to keep up with the dizzying plot build up that it had over the first few episodes. It’s about a group of robbers […Click here to read more]
