An extraodinary movie where contradictory genres are mixed (horror, comedy, adventure, romantic, philosophic). The movie doesn't belong to any of genres stated above. It is a kaleidoscope of all the genres we see in the cinema. Hence you can not stick to one particular mood when watching this movie. If your mind is ready for an acrobatic challenge on a roller coaster , go for it. May be you will like the sensation when it changes rapidly your emotions according to different genres. May be you will just hate it and give up watching saying the movie is stupid. May be you will just stay blank without any idea. Every reaction is possible with this movie. Even if you finish it successfully, it will take time to realize the theme of the movie, since it is philosophical. However the story line is catchy and unique.
The movie is not excellent when it comes to graphic. Some demons look artificial. Due to this fact, there are moments where comic and tragic features clash.
One interesting quote from the movie, 'there's no greater love, there's no lesser love'. Conquering the demons on earth is easier than conquering the demons in the mind. No spoilers! Happy watching :)!
