Best known internationally for his horror and crime output (specifically, Audition, Ichi the Killer, Dead or Alive, and One Missed Call), Miike is an intensely prolific Japanese cine-extremist who crosses boundaries of any and every sort, such that his oeuvre is marked by madness that can be alternately sweet (2001’s horror-musical-romance The Happiness of the Katakuris) and mind-bogglingly deranged (2001’s Visitor Q, a family drama that has to be seen to be believed). Even when he takes a relatively more conventional route, such as with 2017’s Blade of the Immortal or 2019’s First Love, the director invests his action with delirious flair and a demented sense of humor. All of which makes his partnership with Disney—that bastion of wholesome family entertainment—both completely unexpected and totally insane. In the United States, Connect will arrive on December 7 not on Disney+ but, instead, on Hulu. Those hoping for a trademark off-the-wall Miike effort won’t be disappointed. A six-part Korea-set adaptation of a webtoon of the same name, the Japanese auteur’s latest concerns eternal creatures, dismembered body parts, yakuza gangs and a serial killer who transforms his victims into works of grotesque art. Premonitions, zodiac signs, and reanimated corpses also factor into this sinister stew, which Miike infuses with cartoonish electricity and menace. It’s just about everything Bambi and Cinderella. Regardless of its chosen distribution platform, Connect is a satisfyingly o...

Succession finale review: One of the best shows about sibling warfare Abhishek Agarwal: 'I want to build India's equivalent of LVMH' Exorcism, possession, satanic cults, and witches out to undermine everybody. These are some of the usual ingredients that make up the filmy potion called a horror film. Some films rise above these tropes creatively. They have you biting your nails, at the edge of your seat, and just about ready to rattle any moment as the horror unfolds. Connect, starring It is unfortunate, however, that the plot of the film doesn’t support the interesting setting though. The film majorly depends on jumpscares to keep the audience entertained and takes the easy route by focusing mainly on exorcism. Is exorcism through video call enough of a hook? Not really! In fact, I had the added benefit of watching the film with a crowd that was mainly youngsters who did not think twice before making fun of the film in the theater. The jump scares were so juvenile that there were collective laugh-out-loud moments. The setup leading to the reveal of the possession of a teenager — Anna — is unconvincing. The concept that darkness must instill fear is overused in the film. The saving grace is the background score, as the chilling music does its best to instill an environment of fear filled with anxiety. It doesn’t take a stronghold in our minds, however, because we are used to the monsters hiding under our beds. Literally and figuratively. We are very familiar with the rattl...

Express News Service From what we’ve seen of Ashwin Saravanan, it is clear that the filmmaker doesn’t really go for the low-hanging fruits when making genre films. In his fascinating debut, Maya, the addition of the ‘movie within a movie’ trope made it all the more interesting. Similarly, in his intriguing sophomore, Game Over, the ‘you are not playing the game, you are the game’ trope made it all the more engaging. So, one can’t really be faulted for expecting his latest, Connect, to be more than just an exercise in exorcism. Although Connect starts strongly with a bright tale freefalling into the depths of darkness, courtesy of the pandemic, the film sparingly hits the high notes of the genre while just about managing past the finish line. Ashwin introduces the protagonists —a lived-in couple Susan (Nayanthara) and Joseph (Vinay Rai), their daughter Anna (Haniya Nafisa), and Susan’s father Arthur (Sathyaraj)— on a holiday, with a breezy song, which betrays a sense of melancholy. We are just a day or two ahead of the nationwide lockdown, and Joseph is a doctor who is asked to return to the hospital to take care of the never-ending crowd of patients. Tragedy strikes the family as Joseph joins the list of the many frontline workers who sacrificed their lives for the safety of the world. An already strained equation between Susan and Anna becomes even worse, and then, we start dealing with a heady mix of seances, possessions, purgations, and of course, exorcisms. There is no...
