Demonte Colony 3 : Conviction and earnest performances keep afloat this wafer-thin sequel
“Demonte Colony 2,” directed by R. Ajay Gnanamuthu, is a sequel that attempts to build on the eerie atmosphere of its 2015 predecessor. While it hits some of the same high points, it struggles under the weight of introducing new elements to a simple premise.
The film features Arulnithi reprising his role, alongside Priya Bhavani Shankar and Archana Ravichandran. The story maintains a chamber drama horror format, with suspenseful moments that keep the audience engaged. The cinematography by Harish Kannan and the score by Sam C. S. are notable highlights, contributing significantly to the film’s spooky atmosphere.
However, the sequel falters in its attempt to expand the narrative. The introduction of new plot angles feels forced, diluting the impact of the original’s straightforward horror. Despite these shortcomings, the earnest performances by the cast and the tight screenplay manage to keep the film afloat.
Overall, “Demonte Colony 2” offers a mix of suspense and horror that fans of the genre might appreciate, even if it doesn’t fully live up to its potential.
