Rahul Sadasivan has a distinct way of approaching horror. He prefers stillness over spectacle and suggestion over shock. His new film Dies Irae continues that approach. It is ambitious in its design and confident in tone. Yet, it struggles to maintain narrative grip when it needs it most. The film is haunting and beautifully crafted, but it is also uneven in execution.Pranav Mohanlal plays Rohan, an architect living in an isolated villa. His days are calm, but his nights unravel into fear and confusion.
