Pizza

A pizza delivery boy learns the hard way that it's better to stay on the porch and wait for payment than to enter ... a haunted house!

This was our last scary movie for Halloween viewing and it did a better job than I thought it would. I expected a humorous ghost story. This was anything but that. It was a full-on a horror movie and well done. As with most Indian films, it was too long. A few sections of the second half were fairly redundant but I don't want to say more because part of the pleasure is watching the plot unfold.

Vijay Sethupathi stars as the delivery boy. I've enjoyed his performances in Vikram Vedha as a clever criminal and Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum as a tender-hearted thug helping a naive girl who lives in the apartment next door. This is an earlier movie that helped catapult him into his fame as the People's Treasure of Kollywood films. Let's just say I've become a fan and am looking forward to seeing more of his movies.

This is available streaming on Amazon Prime.
