Adaraneeya Prarthana (2022)
The worst srilankan movie me and my frends have ever seen
What a bad movie for sri lanka. Was drawn into seeing 'Negative', with a cool poster/cover, a promising trailer, an intriguing premise and as someone with a general appreciation for drama/thrillers. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive.
It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws are here present in those films, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'Negative' is lacklustre, with so many huge flaws and doesn't do enough with its potential, which was hardly small. There is not much to recommend in 'Negative'.
Lets start with the positives.. The scenery is atmospheric and spooky, and is surprisingly well shot.
'Negative' also starts off promisingly, it does intrigue and it does have creepiness in parts.
There is the odd assured directing touches and Katia Winter is quite good.
