GHOUL- A Netflix Horror Series Review

                    Ghoul is an Indian horror Sci-fi fantasy mini-series by Patrick Graham. The word 'Ghoul' denotes devil. We have seen several horror movies and series, but the difference is that it is military based horror genre. Rahim reported to police that her father was a traitor. The police arrested her father and Rahim was given as opportunity to work as interrogative officer before she had completed her training period. Meanwhile, Rahim took in charge on a military base and also tried to figure out what happened to her father. 



                    The advantage of the series is the slow burning plot and transformation of tone in the picture. The cinematography is well suited, and it helps to maintain the colour of horror. Radhika Apte is onw and only sole performer and she shoulders the whole series. The story starts slowly and it begins its gear with an unexpected end.




                    Another advantage of the series is unpredictability. we cannot say whether it is a zombie or thriller or ghost film until the final episode. A military base, prisoners, few commanders and an unknown thing is a perfect way to cook a thriller series. Technically the series is strong. There are few negatives like screenplay lagging in few areas, but it is managed to entertain till the end.

                    Overall, Ghoul is engaging, gripping and entertaining thriller and it is definitely worth to watch.

Rebel Moon : A Child of Fire (Part One)- A Netflix Movie Review

          Rebel Moon : A Child of Fire (Part one ) is an American space political movie by Zack Snyder. Motherland (a dominant country) tries to rule the space with his dictatorship. They try to siege a small village. Kora, a farmer with mysterious past try to save the village by recruiting warriors. The ending of the movie marks the beginning of another space adventure.



           The plot is not new and the screenplay is as same template as previous adventure movies. The technique of the screenplay (Zack Snyder's style) is the magic of the movie. 
           The movie duration is 2hrs. Zack Snyder takes his time to develop the plot. The movie starts like a turtle's flipper then ends in a rabbit's race. Somehow, Snyder's magic makes us to watch the movie.
            It must be the best because of the very old plot and template the movie becomes an average. Still it is a mystery that why Snyder chose this script to direct. 



           The movie is slow burn political action adventure. Apart from Sofia, other characters have not create much impact on audience ( May be each character has a story in Part Two). Overall, Rebel Moon: The child of Fire not makes uss to wait for its sequel but it might be worth to watch.
