In the shadowy alleys of rural Kerala, a deformed face hides a soul tormented by the sins of the past. Kammaran, a local healer and Theyyam artist, paints his twisted features to conceal the truth, but when a series of mysterious pregnancies and illicit abortions surface, the darkness he’s tried to bury begins to claw its way back. As whispers of a curse spread and the line between medicine and madness blurs, Paathi: the Half weaves a chilling tale of guilt, redemption, and the bloody price of choice. With atmospheric dread and a haunting performance by Indrans, this film slowly peels back the layers of a fractured mind, forcing the audience to confront the monsters we create within.

User Reviews
HorrorVoyeur – 7/10
“The atmosphere is thick with unease, and Indrans is utterly convincing as the haunted Kammaran. It's not a jump-scare fest, but the slow-burning dread really got under my skin. The climax left me unsettled for days.”
GoreLover99 – 5/10
“I appreciate the attempt at a psychological horror, but the pacing dragged in the middle. The abortion theme felt a bit too on-the-nose and the horror elements took a backseat to the moralizing. Still, the performances were strong.”
Midnight_Reaper – 6/10
“For me, the film shines when it focuses on the Theyyam rituals and the distorted face – that was properly creepy. But the social commentary sometimes overshadowed the horror, making it feel more like a drama with eerie bits. Worth a watch for horror completists.”
ScreamQueenMK – 8/10
“I loved how the movie blended cultural folklore with a deeply personal horror story. Indrans delivered a career-best performance, and the sound design was spine-chilling. It's not your typical horror, but that's what made it stand out for me.”
