Critics Review
2.50
Visually striking, narratively weak
Parthiban's camerawork is outstanding, and Kumar Gangappan's art direction adds authenticity to the film. Pechi offers some chills but struggles in delivering a coherent supernatural tale.(more)

A flimsy horror film with few surprises
The most disappointing aspect of Pechi is not the fact it is derivative, but rather the lack of scares in the film. It tries every trick in the book to throw curveballs at the characters and scare the audience in the process, including hands protruding from trees, apparitions that pop up from nowhere, and more. However, it becomes so predictable and monotonous after a point. As a result, even the earnest performances start to feel gimmicky. The film makes a last-ditch effort to pull out the rug from beneath, but the sudden shift barely makes an impact.(more)
