Deepan’s initial set-up is decidedly ambiguous we are first introduced to three separate plot threads - one involving a psychic, another about a construction worker and the third with Jebin. Yes, the scares here are really few but the film works more as a slow-burning supernatural thriller. The Villa is a competently-made film that shows that horror, as a genre, will click with audiences if done right. With the help of his friend Prathap tries to get at the root of the mystery. Meanwhile, Jebin realizes that there is something eerie about the place when he stumbles onto some hidden paintings of his dad that seem to predict the future. He learns of a villa in Pondicherry that belongs to his late father and goes there with the intention of selling off the place even though his girlfriend Arthi (Sanchita) believes it will be a good luck charm for him. Jebin (Ashok Selvan), a writer, is pressed into a financial trouble after the death of his comatose father Marshall P Jones (Nasser).
You have the haunted house motif, a final twist, some of the cast members (Jayakumar, Veera Santhanam), and technicians (composer Santhosh Narayanan and editor Leo John Paul) from the first film…īut the tale here is different. The Villa isn’t a sequel to Pizza but as the second film in the Pizza franchise, it uses certain tropes from the earlier film for a similar yet different plot. Will he be able to solve the mystery before it is too late?
Synopsis: Jebin, a struggling writer, tries to sell off a villa belonging to his dead father but strange events happen inside the place.
