Half way thro #DemonteColony. Momentum oscillates but once the stage is set, there are genuinely creepy scenes & a terrific interval twist.
#DemonteColony has solid, effectively creepy moments

Half way through #DemonteColony. Despite the sluggish start, the film packs an enormous bunch of surprise with an interesting flashback.
#DemonteColony: While the second half is an engaging treat, the film passes out in its final revelation which is not up to the mark.
#DemonteColony: Debutant dir @AjayGnanamuthu shows some directorial flair with this compelling low-budget horror thriller.
#DemonteColony *attempts* to splatter the cliches of the horror genre that we see regularly in Tamil cinema. Has some solid moments.

#DemonteColony - Kudos to Director Ajay Gnanamuthu for taking a movie without heroine, forced comedy scenes & no songs in the second half
‪#‎DemonteColony‬ - Completely different from recent horror flicks in Tamil Cinema. Cinematography by Aravinnd Singh needs special mention for scenes which happens around Demonte Colony. It has come out really well.

#DemonteColony - 3/5. Downside - character establishment in 1st half takes time, real story in 2nd half. On the whole different & watchable.
#DemonteColony 3/5. It's all about creating the right atmosphere - BGM, camera, sharp cuts, production designs gives that eerie feel.

One of the highlights of #DemonteColony, acc to @arulnithitamil, is its great cinematography by @AravinndSingh. Arul raved abt his work
#DemonteColony very smartly made. Proves that a horror flick need not have to rely on the presence of a ghost to generate thrills. Go for it
#DemonteColony running time of 2 hrs approx a big plus. BGM and cinematography will serve as the biggest pillars in drawing audiences.
