Review:
A failure trail of making a horror movie.the story and screenplay is the exact copy of the film "a film by aravind" by tollywood director sekhar suri. if u had already watched that movie then 13B wil not be a thrilling movie at all. I was the one in the crew who already watched "film by aravind" and was watching 13B. The main drawback of the movie is the flashback. The director tries in all the possible ways to create hype in for the flashback. but when it comes to flashback its an airless balloon.
these are some of the flat tricks did by director to make the audience feel the horror,thrill,anxiousness about the flashback. But they failed.
1.The lift works asusually for all the people except madhavan.
2.The milk whenever kept on stove are always spoiled since the day they entered into that new apartment.
3.The photo of madhavan wil always be twisted whenever shot.
4.The driller meets with electric shock when he comes to the apartment to hang the picture frames of god.
5.The new serial in "EYE TV" that is telecasted in only the madahvans apartment.
6.The bathroom light automatically switches on even when madahvan switches it off.
7.The dog resists to enter the apartment as it sees madhavan.(this is somewhat nicely shot)
8.The way he analyses his photo by clicking inside the room and getting outside of it.(this is also a nicely shot scene with madhavan's emotions and expressions.
9.The result out scene of madhavan's sister and some scenes like this...all these scenes actually follow the serial episodes. its not a good idea to make a horror movie i think.
the second half of the movie is simply waste. we cant resist the thrill in waiting for the flashback.and when it comes it simply drops all the hopes. neetu chandran showed a nice parformance. the back ground score was nice. the attempt to entertain audience of the horror movie with songs is always a flop experiment. the director failed here again.
