 Four youngsters ( 2 girls and 2 boys) venture into a forest accompanied by a young local village girl, Kantha, to guide them. Their aim is capture on film,  some supernatural activities in the forest  But when they don't return ,police find the live footage of what they have shot on cameras. What fate did the youngsters meet with? Fully shot in the jungle, the movie manages to keep scares coming,  with jump scares and  scary sounds that add to the mystery and fear factor, just when you least expect them. The use of silence and night effects and natural lighting from torches is well used to increase the thrill factor.  The story line is relatively simple but the presentation  retains a novelty. However, the film could do with a bit of crisper editing to make for more compact viewing. *For Instagram*   Produced by: spkpictures standalone picturesint  Written & Directed by: hemnath narayanan DOP: jason williams Editor: rohith Marketing Head...
