Critics Review

2.75

Focused throughout and reasonably engaging!

As you can see, the plot is nothing novel but the first half of Iruttu has a nice build up and has few tense moments.What really works for the film is the screenplay that remains focussed. There are no diversions. Even a song that seems to be there for titillation turns out to be there for a rather solid reason.(more)

A unique ghost, but a storyline without any spirit

Iruttu seems very unsure if it should be a horror-comedy or a horror-thriller or pure horror, and falters without purpose.(more)

A decently engaging screenplay without any unnecessary deviations till the end

What didn't work was the shoddy CG scenes which spoil the seriousness in some scenes. The screenplay could have been more intriguing to keep the viewers hooked completely.(more)

Zero cliches, full-on chills

I wouldn't call Iruttu flawless, but it does shine the light on a lot of the right places that our horror films have left out in the darkness in the recent years. (more)

An engaging horror thriller

Iruttu is a watchable horror thriller for the unexplored element and the investigative angle. (more)

2.50

A watchable horror flick with an engaging flow, but the weak technicalities deteriorate the quality.

There are needless glamour shots, too many technical glitches and some ridiculous gory shots, just to make things complicated. The logic is also pretty satisfying and doesn't make you feel like watching a madcap film at any place. However, this watchable flick could have definitely been made in a better way, if the producers had invested a little more money to improve the visual quality.(more)

Zero cliches, full-on chills

We may all have our own set of phobias, but what invariably haunts everyone is fear of the unknown. (more)
