The Priest

The writers Shyam Menon and Deepu Pradeep devote an entire murder mystery subplot that takes up a chunk of the film's first half to put two simple plot points across. The first is that Fr. Carmen Benedict (the character Mammootty plays in the film) is a parapsychologist, and the second is that the bigger threat here is Ameya (Baby Monica), an 11-year-old orphan (which we sense the moment we see her!). Yet, I'd still say the first half is more interesting than the second. The latter half delves into possession, exorcism, and what-not in a manner that doesn't surprise us one bit. Also, Manju Warrier's role is terribly underwritten. It's difficult to categorize this film by genre, as it desperately tries to amp up the thrill factor but also focuses on predictable horror tropes. I don't think I'll fancy a second watch of The Priest ever, even if there are a couple of redeeming qualities like the watered-down superstar-isms and Baby Monica's creepy performance.

Excellent movie, well made. The performance of each artists is really outstanding,especially the child baby monica's. The story line,making, bgm,sound design, etc are really superb. Must watch in theaters

Must watch item m climax is good. Interval block is massive . Bgm👌💥. Game changer of mollywood

Outstanding first half followed by cliché second half. Bgm at its top notch level🔥. International level quality. Interval portion was brilliant. Overall an average experience for me. If you can spent time and money, go for an multiplex theatre for better experience.

Good one. One of the best from Mammooka Horror + Thriller...a Kind of mix. Bo words about acting.

This film is avg or below avg First of all the first have no connection with second half. The horror scene has no effect, the way horror is represents is in sold way(not too old) .The storyline is predictable,I think is pretty much messed up.camera is execellent and background music is also good.the revenge in the story is completely meaning less. Positive 1) camera is excellent 2)background music 3)acting 4)cast Negative 1)over drama 2)predictable story 3)horror scene are not good 4)most of the acting is done by child actor(she nailed it) 5)manji varrior is like a gest in this filim

Ever best horror mystery thriller👍👍megastar Mammootty rocking

This is an amazing movie, with great bgm and sound mixing
