All Guild Reviews of "Eko"
Savage Malayalam Thriller Barks Loud and Bites Hard
In a world where human beings thrived like any other mammals, sans languages and every other paraphernalia, would they still qualify as apex predators? When danger appears, our first instinct is to think. A lone man, suddenly confronted by a tiger, would probably scramble up the nearest tall tree. His brain would tick over time for a way to escape. A rock, a branch, or anything that might distract the big cat would become part of his strategy.
A Solid Mystery Thriller in Which Animals Play as Big a Part as Humans
Dinjith Ayyathan’s ‘Eko’ dives into a world where animals and humans are more connected than you would think, and ends up as a solid mystery thriller thanks to its brilliant screenplay
Pared down to its bare bones, Dinjith Ayyathan’sEko is a story of the search for a missing man, a colourful character about whom infinite chronicles and conflicting accounts are in circulation. To bite into these bare bones is not really the point. It is to savour the whole act of reaching it and revelling in that pleasure. Just like through a dense, deceptive forest with uncharted territory at every turn, the viewer is slowly drawn into this world where not a single character can be fully trusted.
