Sean Kings One chilling fact of nature that has stayed with me for years was the notion we will take for granted the importance of oxygen until there is a lack of it. We never really pay heed to something that is in our lives everyday, and therefore is relatively ignored. As such, our dependency on technology has grown to such extent that, without it, mankind would quickly crumble as a civilization.A breed of horror has arisen prominently in the new millennium that exploits this very idea, and in rather creative ways: What if basic living was suddenly turned against us? When there is no place like home, do you really own it? Or does it own you? When I watched this film through I couldn't help but realize I witnessed a subtler adaptation of Mikael Håfström's "1408". But this was certainly not a bad thing. Oh no, not at all. 13B expands past 1408's borders quite brilliantly. With it, blending in the elements of The Ring, Final Destination, and Poltergeist (with a sprinkling of quirky humor) to a delectable mix of "that inanimate object has the ability to kill you in 150 ways" paranormal paranoia. The majority of the dialog is Hindi but coherency isn't an issue for 13B, as the tone-sensitive visuals tell the tale just as effectively. The acting and score also carries the plot well.I had a few minor qualms with 13B. The dialog at times seemed unnatural, almost forced. Camera movement was also a problem. Some scenes had the camera volatile to enhance suspense but for me it did the opposite.13B is a fine example of intellectual horror. It does not force feed the suspense, but allows the viewer to build their own overtime as the protagonist becomes aware of the unnatural forces manipulating his and his family's mentality to the breaking point.

debasishxp All I can say about this lovely movie is that it is more a thriller than a horror...it can't be called a horror movie because no scene in this movie can really freak anybody out... but the thrill in this movie is top class... the story, the direction, the events in this movie that happen one after another... all are mind-blowing.. viewers will be kept in suspense and ultimately the end of the movie is amazingly set and directed...A never watched before Thriller/Horror movie with very good acting/ performance by the lead character. Deserves more than a 9 on 10....Hats off!!!

ashwin kumar No Goddess killing the evil at the end or Any girl walking in white sari singing a love song, but it is hard to believe that it is a ghost thriller movie. Expectations were quite high even before it was released. The simple reason was because of the National award winning technicians such as PC Sriram, Srikarprasad, AS Lakshmi Narayanan, Shankar Ehsaan Loy and last but not the least Maddy. The Technical Part is quite outstanding. The colours used in the movie is not at all for a thriller movie but PC has taken us to another level. The Editing and the BG score is brilliant. The apartment set and the costumes give the viewer a perfect upper middle class effect. The Apt Artists makes it even better one. Maddy dominates the entire movie but his family members have done a controlled performance which is a add-on. The accolades should go to the director for congregating the greats in the industry.On whole a refreshing thriller for all Hindi fans and a Brand new great experience for the Tamil fans.I thank the movie crew for giving such a wonderful movie as it is long since i got my money worth watching a movie.PS: Lifts,TV's and Mobile phones becoming demons is inevitable.

bekarthieee This is a very good thriller and must watch one for cold blooded thriller fans. P.C.Sriram plays a vital role in the movie. His camera work is extraordinary frankly to say he deserve Oscar for Cinematography for this film.I can't believe it is Vikram K Kumar's First Film.His Directing style is very good.Maddy did a nice job and all other actors also did a good job.If you want to Feel the Fear means watch it in Theater don't watch in CD's. First of all thanks to the production team for giving us such a different thriller in Tamil.Little mistakes are there but i won't mention it because your work is really fantastic. A Must Watch Thriller Film with FAMILY.
