Evaluate: Window Seat marks the directorial debut of actress Sheetal Shetty. There have been suspicions whether or not or not her movie is predicated on The Woman On The Practice, however barring a scene or two, there may be nothing that ties it to that. As an alternative, this finally ends up being a psychological thriller that unravels with completely different twists, some predictable and a few not. It’s a novel watch.
The movie begins with what appears to be like a homicide scene, following which one will get to fulfill the protagonist Raghu, a loner singer, who works for Anjali, who owns a lounge. The latter fancies him, however Raghu is in love with a thriller woman he spots every day from his window seat from the prepare. When he spots her being killed from the identical window, he needs to assist her, however finally ends up being embroiled in a narrative that has extra questions than solutions. Will he reach understanding the reality?
A few of the greatest scenes within the movie wouldn’t have the protagonists, however the law enforcement officials who’re making an attempt to assist Raghu out. We get to see a tough and hard cop, who cares for nothing and is brutal, not like the over-the-top girls law enforcement officials typically seen in Kannada movies. The movie additionally has some stunning visuals that showcase the great thing about inside Karnataka, whereas the soundtrack is the opposite large win. The music and background rating units a quite fascinating tone to the movie.
Window Seat takes its tempo to unfold and when issues start to unravel, the story travels shortly. The casting is almost excellent. Nirup Bhandari seems his greatest and has given one among his greatest performances thus far. Amrutha Iyengar shines too, and excels in emotional scenes. The opposite performer who makes a mark is Lekha Naidu because the cop, who is a good discover and may get extra roles after this. Suraj from Comedy Khiladigalu is entertaining as her sidekick. P Ravi Shankar in a cameo is a enjoyment of his Abdul Kalam like look.
Window Seat will not be a daily masala movie, nor does it fall within the standard woman-director stereotype both. It tries to be edgy and provides you a thriller expertise, and practically succeeds on most counts.

Boneyard (2024) â Review | Crime Thriller | Heaven of Horror
![Boneyard (2024) â Review | Crime Thriller | Heaven of Horror](https://www.heavenofhorror.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Boneyard-2024-Review.jpg)
The True Story Behind Boneyard
Boneyard is inspired by (and fairly closely based on) the true crime case of West Mesa in Albuquerque, New Mexico, just like in the movie. The film is also dedicated to the victims of that unsolved case.
While the West Mesa case remains unsolved, we do know that the remains discovered in 2009 belonged to girls and women. Also, we know that they disappeared between 2001 and 2005.
The 11 victims in the true case are:
Jamie Barela, age 15
Monica Candelaria, age 22
Victoria Chavez, age 26
Virginia Cloven, age 24
Syllannia Edwards, age 15
Cinnamon Elks, age 32
Doreen Marquez, age 24
Julie Nieto, age 24
Veronica Romero, age 28
Evelyn Salazar, age 27
Michelle Valdez, age 22
At one point, the unknown serial killer is called the âBone Collectorâ which threw me off. However, this was one of the names used for the suspected serial killer. The complete name used for him was âWest Mesa Bone Collectorâ.

Nikhil Nagesh Bhatâs high energy action film Kill is not for the faint hearted.

Language: Hindi
Director: Nikhil Nagesh Bhat
Cast: Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Tanya Maniktala, Abhishek Chauhan, Ashish Vidyarthi, Adrija Sinha, Harsh Chhaya
 Itâs true that we donât really need stars to make a successful film. Nikhil Nagesh Bhatâs Kill has totally killed it with all its energy.  It is fresh, bold and a unique story that not many have thought about and thatâs what makes it different. Violent no doubt, but donât most movies have an element of violence?
I believe Kill is a path breaking Indian action film, but definitely not for the faint heart. It is true that I am not too fond of extreme bloodshed, murder and also not to forget the smashing of head scenes. But keeping my choices aside, I would say Kill is a well-made film and the action sequences are simply mind-blowing. Having watched the movie at the
Red Sea International Film Festival
last year for the first time, I wonder, why did it take so long for the film to be released in India?
Itâs insanely violent. What works for Kill is the simple storyline and no beating around the bush. Not much twist and turns and most importantly hitting the hammer right on the nail and sometimes on the people too. The action takes place inside the train with no unnecessary drama, dancing and singing. The concept is daring and fresh for the Indian audience and that makesÂ
Kill
 stand out. No flying cars, choppers and superman stunts and most importantly actors like Lakshya, Raghav Juyal and the battalion of dacoits are relatable to the Indian audience. They look like ordinary guys and thatâs what makes them special. Lakshya plays the role of an army man, Amrit who is a great boyfriend to Tulika played by Tanya Maniktala.
Lakshya has done a brilliant job, but the actor to look out for is Raghav Juyal. He has a promising career ahead of him. He is one evil character you canât stop hating. Raghavâs performance is intense and the dialogue delivery, expressions, and every action is absolutely compelling. I must say that this man truly knows his craft. The best thing that the movie brings out is that murderers too have emotions.
If you are looking for a high energy action filmÂ
Kill
 is one such must watch. Nikhil Nagesh Bhatâ has no doubt done a brilliant job as a director, but without cinematographer Rafey Mehmood probably this film wouldnât have been such a hit. The best part about the film Kill is that not even once will you get bored. No matter how much at times I hated the gory action scenes and tried closing my eyes, the more I got interested in whatâs happening next. The discomfort of the blood splatter, the punching, kicking, stabbing and smashing of head all in a train will surely make you think twice before booking a train ticket next time!
Rating: 4 out of 5

Movie Review: ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ | Recent News
![Movie Review: ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ | Recent News](https://drydenwire.com/site/assets/files/54985/a-quiet-place-day-one.1200x630.jpg)
âA Quiet Place: Day Oneâ made a grave miscalculation with its advertising. Scenes were filmed with the intention of putting them in the trailers, but not the movie. This way, when people saw the movie, they wouldnât be able to properly anticipate the surprises and story progression. To that end, the advertising succeeded, I was indeed thrown off while watching the movie. But hereâs where they didnât succeed: the scenes shot just for the trailers were terrible, with clumsy dialogue and careless pacing. I was so mad at Hollywood for continuing this series without the creative vision of director John Krasinski, especially when the movie looked like garbage without his input. I only saw this movie out of obligation for the column, and I wouldnât be surprised if fans of the series stayed away entirely because of those awful trailers. But it turns out that not only is this movie better than the trailers, itâs better than the two installments that Krasinski directed.
âDay Oneâ casts aside the familiar Abbott family in favor of new protagonist Sam (Lupita Nyongâo). Sam is a cancer patient taking a trip from her hospice to Manhattan along with her nurse Reuben (Alex Wolff) and service cat Frodo. Sam only agrees to the trip on the condition that the group stop for pizza at her favorite place in Harlem. The sudden invasion of echolocating aliens means a delay in pizza. Honestly, Sam is only interested in self-preservation to the end that it means eventual pizza.
Sam shelters in place for a bit with Reuben, who has a great scene where he stares down an alien like heâs staring down death itself. Also in the shelter is familiar character Henri (Djimon Hounsou) from âPart IIâ of the series, here forced to make an unthinkable decision. She moves on to helping some children in Central Park before finding a companion in anxious wreck Eric (Joseph Quinn). Can the two survive in alien-infested New York long enough to get a slice of pizza? If so, what happens after that?
âDay Oneâ has the most suspense yet for a âQuiet Placeâ movie. It was scary enough that characters had to keep quiet to save their lives on a family farm or in small town. But in New York, the noises are as big as the pizzas. Speaking of food, I wonder if the charactersâ best bet for survival would be to let the aliens fill up on noisy people and then hope theyâre too stuffed to give chase. Maybe thatâs why the filmâs biggest flaw is that the main characters get away with making as much noise as they do.
The film does an excellent job of wringing scares out of not only the slightest sounds, but loud-looking images. Even with everybody promising to be quiet, a crowd of people is going to make noise eventually, thatâs just how crowds are. So if the characters find themselves as part of a crowd, the clock is already ticking. And thatâs with a reasonable amount of effort being made. Some people just arenât cut out for quiet, and associating with those people in this environment could prove fatal.
âA Quiet Place: Day Oneâ had me afraid to breathe loudly in the theater, a testament to the filmâs immersiveness. And yet, the suspenseful atmosphere is only the second-best thing about the movie. The real star here is, well, the star: Lupita Nyongâo. This movie doesnât have returning players John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, or even recent Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy, and Nyongâo makes up for all of them. One way or another, Sam doesnât have much time left on this Earth, but youâll want to be there for every moment. It took until nearly the exact halfway point of the year, but I think we have our first serious contender for an acting Oscar. Not bad for a movie whose advertising had me thinking it would be one of the worst films of the year.
Grade: B
âA Quiet Place: Day Oneâ is rated PG-13 for terror and violent content/bloody images. Its running time is 100 minutes.
