Watch Tears of Kali For Free

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

TEARS OF KALI centers around the fictional India-based Taylor-Erikkson cult group during the 80's. There are some faults with the film that keep it from being truly excellent - but it is an original and ambitious film for what it is. The acting is poor, the cinematography is not upto mark. Only a few of the performances are pretty damn chilling (the "doctor" in the second segment, and the "client" in the third readily come to mind...) and notable. The gore FX are very well done for a low-budget film, with some graphic scenes which reminds us of ol Italian horror movies of the eighties. Flesh ripped clean to the bone...and the blood runs red ...this savage Heart Stopper will grip you...and give you some dark dreams ... Lucio fulci did much better. There are plenty of scenes of genuine atmosphere and tension. The movie is obviously low budget, n some of the acting is pretty lousy, but Tears of Kali is original enough and has plenty of nastiness and gore to make this movie worth a viewing. It is quite creepy and genuinely disturbing. The special effects are not for those with weak stomachs. If you are into splatter and gore, give these young film makers a try.Somebody shud make a movie on the other cult involving the cult of The Noida serial murders (also Nithari serial murders, Nithari Kand).

When I started watching, I thought it would be a complete waste of time. But to my surprise, it turned out to be much better than the other mass marketed stuff out there. I have to stress - this movie is NOT for everyone. This will not satisfy visual or audio connoisseurs. This *might* satisfy those that enjoy slasher gore; but it is not mindless and the psychological aspects won't be appreciated. This is not a movie that is meant to passively entertain you. If you disengage your brain while watching a movie, then you should probably skip this entirely.With that said:The movie is an anthology of three stories based on the after-effects of a form of experimental group "therapy" done in the 80s based on the archetypes of the Hindu religion. I have read a review complaining about the appropriation of eastern religious ideas by westerners. I agree that's a legitimate concern, but isn't that the entire point of the movie in the first place? It's about the consequences of dabbling in forces (psychological or otherwise) that one does not understand; and that these consequences reach into the future and effect the lives of others. I went into this movie with the opinion that you have to be born into that culture to really understand it's religion; and I left the movie the same way. This movie is an example of how good storytelling and well written characters are far more important than flashy FX or style. A unique movie, chock full of substance, is a "must see" for those who enjoy being actively engaged in psychological thrillers.

Three horror stories based on members of a transgressive Hindu cult that return home but changed in some way. In the first story our former cult member is now in an insane asylum and is visited by a reported who wants to find out about what went on at the cult. Somewhat slow going as story is told in flashbacks while the two sit on chairs and face each other. Reporter is particularly interested in what lead to the death of the participants. What seemed rather boring suddenly turns very exciting with a surprising twist in the story. Things get quite bloody.Second story has a violent young criminal visiting a psychiatrist for mandatory therapy. The patient seems to have some type of agenda but the psychiatrist is up to the task. Again, things slow down a bit and get weird. Then there's a strange twist in the story that is very well written and surprising.Final story deals with spiritual healer who claims to be able to remove the persons illness from them with his hands. One of the patients is a former cult member, so the successful healing gets more complicated. Again, we are surprised by a twist. Has a pretty gory scene in there.There some nice female full frontal nudity as well as male full frontal nudity for some reason. I found the stories to be very well written and the director succeeds entirely in setting up each story with its surprising twist and the gory aftermath.Note: review of the German DVD.

one of the best low budget movies from Germany! is this is the dark side of new age? if you believe in esoteric, please don't watch this movie! it blows all your positive fantasies away. this movie shows that beyond the peaceful façade of spiritual soul searching lies a world of extreme transgressions and terror. i hope there will be a 35 mm copy soon! Andreas Marschall's first film is just the beginning of a new area, making movies with a few euros! i'm waiting for the second hit!
