Review of Tears of Kali (2004) by Countess N — 23 May 2009
Evil Has Found Its Way Out.
This is a horror/thriller film that's told in three chapters, Shakti ('The Divine Mother'), Devi ('The Goddess'), and Kali ('The Mother Goddess'). It's centered around one specific group, Taylor-Eriksson, that was formed in the eighties in India. They performed ancient rituals to try to achieve something greater than themselves. They were always pushing the limit to see how far they could go.
Tears of Kali is a German movie and it's dubbed in English. That can be kind of annoying but I got used to it quickly because the story gets so engrossing. This is an awesome low-budget movie. It starts out by introducing you to the Taylor-Eriksson group (with something gruesome that happens there), then it delves into the first chapter. Each chapter has its amount of gore and horror. Something that's supposed to be so freeing for your soul turns out to be an unleashing of terror. The second chapter was especially lurid and suspenseful. But, all in all, this movie was unique in the way it unfolded and it was genuinely scary.
I recommend Tears of Kali to pretty much every horror fan.
