"We will go to The Conjuring". "The reviews are good". Exclaimed Prabhakar.
"No way". "Its a horror movie". "I ain't interested in all those craps". I protested.
"Heck off bugger. We will cut our friendship here if you are not coming for the movie". Do you have an appointment with Bill Gates in the dead of the night ? Prabhakar got wild.
Why is he dragging Bill Gates in this conversation ? Has he got anything to do with exorcism ? I thought to myself.
"But who wants to see a horror movie in this era of technology. Do you still believe in all those craps ? We will go for some other movie." I was firm in my stand.
"No way, you are coming otherwise go to hell". He was firm in his stand as well.
"Its a hilarious movie. I laughed out loudly after seeing the climax". Prashanth suggested. He is a smart ass who has special talents to convert a lie into a truth.
"You want to see a horror movie for the 2nd time" ? "Have u gone nuts" ? I asked.
No man you come and see the movie for yourself. It will be similar to"Pizza".
"Pizza" ? How on earth can you compare an english movie with tamil movies ?
Somehow they managed to convince (brainwash) me to accompany them for the movie.
I neither believe in ghosts nor the so called exorcism. But deep down I had the fear of someone calling me from behind when I was all alone in home, after all, horror movies are made by sadistic people who derive pleasure from scaring others.
The movie started with a good tone. A happy family move in to a dilapidated farmhouse in Rhodes Island. As usual their pet dog refrains from entering the house. It keeps barking throughout the night only to be found dead the next morning.
Could it have fallen dead due to dehydration from the excessive barks ? I thought to myself. But we were so engrossed in the movie that the entire crowd in the theater believed it to be a spirit that attacked the dog.
Slowly and steadily we travelled along with the screen play. Some of the scenes like "The clap", "The place where the mother possessed the kid" were a real treat to watch. There was this scene where the clocks stops exactly at 3:07 am as one of the erstwhile occupant of the house was declared dead at the same time some years go. As usual the ghosts attacks one by one and the warrens perform the exorcism by themselves and save the family from the clutches of the ghosts.
"How was the movie" ? Asked Prashanth.
"Screw you". I told him even though the movie was good. I haven't seen a horror movie like this. I imagined myself being an exorcist and whipping Prabhakar & Prashanth indefinitely.
Some of the scenes were flashing before me continuously Quickly I reached home at around 1 am. My mom was away at my brother's place in Bangalore and I was all alone in the house for around a month. I quickly dived into the bed and made sure not to get up before or after 3:07 am.
The next day I returned home from office at around 11 pm. I was baffled to see the balcony door wide open. Any person can enter into our house balcony easily by just creeping along its adjacent wall as it is very close to the foot steps of the apartment. I tried hard to recollect whether I closed the door or not before leaving out. The thought whether an intruder could have sneaked in started running in my mind seriously. I left my cell phone in the sofa and slowly walked inside the bedroom. The behro was intact. I felt like a shadow standing behind me. Immediately I turned around to see if anyone was there.
No one. Just my intuition.
I slowly looked under the bed to see if the intruder was hiding there.
Again my intuition.
My cell phone started ringing. The ring tone was the "horror ring tone" which the antagonist had in the tamil horror movie "Pizza". I'm not sure if it was a coincidence. I ran to the hall to check who it was. It was from some unknown number.
Hello
Hello Preethi irukangala ? (Is Preethi there ?). He muttered in a drunken tone.
What ? Can u please come again ?
Yow Phone Preethi kitta kudu. Ava phone nee ethuku vechirka ? (Give the phone to Preethi. Why are you having her phone with you ?)
You bloody son of a bitch, can't you see the number before dialing ? Idiot. I screamed before disconnecting the call.
After disconnecting the call the bathroom door banged with full force.
What was that ?
The fierce bang sent shivers down the spine and I was pretty sure that the intruder was hiding in the bathroom. I thought of locking all the doors and call the watchman and my neighbours.
Wait don't be a fool, Just go and check it for yourself.
I gathered courage and slowly walked into the bedroom. The words of Ed "Spirits attack when you are vulnerable" were continuously ringing in my mind. Unlike movies I quickly opened the door to see if anyone was there.
No one, it was just the wind.
I heaved a sigh of relief and walked straight to the hall, shut all the doors tight and slept off immediately after dinner.
As the old saying goes by THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GHOSTS. It is only the movies and false stories of people which led to a complete misconception about ghosts. Even The Conjuring movie is based on a true story which I hardly believed it. Its better children, pregnant women and people with weak heart refrain from seeing horror movies. Its not whether we got scared at the movie. Its important that we don't perceive the atmosphere around us to be of spirits & ghosts after seeing the movie.
