#ThePriestReview Mamootty Horror Movie. The fans who were curious about the release of the murder, mystery, horror crime flick "The Preist" the highly anticipated Film hit the screen where Mammootty played the role of Father Benedict, a never seen cameo of him as on date and he thrilled the audience.
Just to avoid spoilers in my review, in a nutshell it is an investigation by a Priest and a Police officer to dig out the mysterious suicides in a family, as their investigation succeeds, it surface it for another unbelievable crime with sufficient twists. Definitely the viewers will be satisfied with effort less performance of #Mammootty who perfectly reaping his role and fits in Priest character with his looks, mannerisms and voice modulations. Even though it is first time Mammootty pairs with Manju Warrior, the combo scenes are not much, but what we have, are proved worth and praiseworthy.
Surely one can visualize it is Mammootty's thirst for new roles even after a span of 40 years in Film Industry, only give the opportunity to a debutant director like Mr. Jofin T Chaco who establish, soul will not leave the body without fulfilling their wishes, and Jofin presented Mammootty in such a brilliant way in portraying the role of father Benedict with perfection, scary and mind-blowing moments to tie up the audience to the edge of their seats from the beginning with its captivating background music which is very crucial in keeping the tempo . Mammootty succeeds in maintaining the mysterious atmosphere around him with sheer brilliant in voice inflections and mannerisms, but it is Baby Monica, the promising baby artist and backbone character of this horror mystery thriller, however surpassing Mammootty with tough competition with her piercing looks and varying expressions which gives jolts to audience at some of the most critical scenes.
With the excellent performances and body language once again Mammootty reminds me his famous dialogue in a 1989 film (Chanduvine (Mammootty) tholpikkan avilla makkale) .
A great movie to be watched.
