The regional cinema hailing from the southern part of India has ventured into fantasy fiction and sci-fi drama, and so far, they have managed to produce several mediocre products in this genre. The Village is a Tamil-language six-episode miniseries about a scientific experiment that went wrong and how it affected the entire population living in the place.

One of the oldest genre tropes imaginable, the use of the haunted house for a setting, offers up countless scenarios over the ages of people investigating the same old situations. From “The Old Dark House” to “The Cat and the Canary,” “The Uninvited” and “The House of Usher” to “The Amityville Horror” and “The Conjuring” to name just a couple, this timeless quality has brought about some of the best and worst the genre has seen due to so many trying their hand at the concept. Milind Rau is one of the latest to do so with his Tamil-lensed genre effort that falls more on the side of the heavyweights in the scene despite falling just short of the marks it set.

ReviewWhile the first half is mostly taut, setting up a cat and mouse game, the second half is overly long and sentimental. Sowmya RajendranMysskin gave us Psycho in 2020. A film about a blind man Vs a serial killer. Milind Rau's Netrikann is about a blind woman Vs a serial killer. I'm inclined to make these statements at the outset because it has been my observation that many viewers (and some critics) who may accept leaps of logic in films led by men, don't extend the same generosity to a film led by a woman star. The two are, of course, very different films beyond this connection, in terms of the plot, characterisation and finesse in execution. But to get to all this, we need to buy the premise. So yes, this is a film about a blind woman who hunts down a serial killer, reportedly an adaptation of the Korean film Blind.
