Connect has a lot of connectivity issues, but the technical aspects of the film are brilliant, especially the sound design (Sachin Sudhakaran and Hariharan) and cinematography.

2/5

Connect, starring Nayanthara in the lead role, is technically sound, but the uninspired plot drags the film down drastically.

Connect can get really scary at times. But you feel a disconnect when you realise that Connect is a movie that places its trust on the theatrics of the genre and not on emotion.

3/5

The film connects with the audience in substantial ways without having to resort to the kind of in-your-face means that horror films usually foist upon the audience.

Connect is not a groundbreaking movie about a teenage girl possessed by the devil. However, this horror flick delivers some effective jump scares and has very good acting, despite the predictable story.

Nayanthara is her earnest best in Connect, but the film truly belongs to debutante Haniya Nafisa...

Connect - 6.5/10. Alright, this is one of those cases of a "good/bad" movie! Its bad because I've seen this movie a million other times in tamil cinema (the Kanchana/Muni series, the Aranmanai series, Chandramukhi, etc). The good here is the cinematography (some of the best cinematography in a horror film in tamil cinema in ages!) and the performances of Haniya Nafisa and Nayanthara. Otherwise, this is a generic and super predictable movie, with an annoying amount of jumpscares. For Ashwin Saravanan, this is a lazy attempt in my personal opinion. The man has made some good movies before, so I'm not sure as to why he resorted to making this kinda movie. He knows how to build tension, but it seems lazy of him to make a movie of this kind when his first two films were interesting horror movies in tamil cinema. Connect is not amazing, but not bad. It just sits in this limbo of okay!

Connect is strictly a one-time watchable horror flick with a low number of characters and some solidly crafted heebie-jeebies that had the potential to be so much more.
