Reviews

My rating is mainly for direction. Also, the actors are done well.

Screenplay is very good Entire cast acting is good specially lead actor played very well. Direction is weak Not too horror as I expected Story goodOne time watch.

I went in with very high expectations because of the review score of 8 (upon initial posting of this review). The opening elevator sequence should have made me stop watching it already, but somehow I was dupe-d that the movie will get better eventually, but I was so wrong.

This is an unconventional film (in terms of the Hollywood standards I'm used to, at least). Unconventional movies have their ups and downs.

Very simples but also very interestimg documentary on the variety of pizzerias in São Paulo. The greatest merit is the hability ro explore social contrasts: periphery x upper class neighborhoods, old family roots in town x workers who migrated from Northeast, fancy restaurants x popular deliveries, rich business people x precarious job wokers.

A story with unexpected plot twists. Michael Karthigeyan is a pizza delivery boy who lives-in with his girlfriend, Anu who has a hobby of writing horror stories.

Really have never seen such a movie which goes throughout in a nail-biting screenplay except for the first 25 mins. An excellent direction and a great screenplay with a great-picture perfect-awesome cinematography.

It is 'Pizza' which should be charged for cheating its audience with an overloaded use of 'deus ex machina'. Before I move further, let me explain what the term 'deus ex machina' signifies the same way film critic Roger Ebert did while reviewing Spike Jonze's delectable 'Adaptation' – by quoting from Wikipedia; the term is used for 'a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved, with the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability, or object'.

Loved this movie. Horror-Thriller genre is actually tough in terms of making, but this movie managed to shape well.
