Cast: Ashok Selvan, Sanchita, Nasser, Pizza Jayakumar, Boys Rajan, Veera SanthanamDirection: DeepanGenre: HorrorDuration: 1 hour 42 minutes
Synopsis: Jebin, a struggling writer, tries to sell off a villa belonging to his dead father but strange events happen inside the place. Will he be able to solve the mystery before it is too late?
Review: First things first. The Villa isn't a sequel to Pizza but as the second film in the Pizza franchise, it uses certain tropes from the earlier film for a similar yet different plot. You have the haunted house motif, a final twist, some of the cast members (Jayakumar, Veera Santhanam), and technicians (composer Santhosh Narayanan and editor Leo John Paul) from the first film...
But the tale here is different. Jebin (Ashok Selvan), a writer, is pressed into a financial trouble after the death of his comatose father Marshall P Jones (Nasser). He learns of a villa in Pondicherry that belongs to his late father and goes there with the intention of selling off the place even though his girlfriend Arthi (Sanchita) believes it will be a good luck charm for him. Meanwhile, Jebin realizes that there is something eerie about the place when he stumbles onto some hidden paintings of his dad that seem to predict the future. With the help of his friend Prathap tries to get at the root of the mystery.
The Villa is a competently-made film that shows that horror, as a genre, will click with audiences if done right. Yes,
