Why do we look at horror films? What draws us to fear and a thrill to be afraid? The horror genre has changed over time, but many modern horror films no longer have the same influence, especially because they are predictable. We often see the fear that makes experience less frightening. The trend is also similar in Mollywood. However, the Malayalam film industry has a rich legacy of the horror that goes back to its black and white. In this piece we will see five Malayalam horror films that are still worth seeing for their unique attitude to the genre.
5. Vadakkan (2025)
Available on: Prime Video
Vadakkan plays Kishore Kumar G. as a paranormal investigator from Kerala, who is now overseas. He is called back to his homeland after several participants and crew members of a reality TV show were found dead under mysterious circumstances and have only left a survivor. The Kerala police remain skeptical of a supernatural explanation, which requires the need for a deeper, unconventional examination. Although the film distracts itself from the traditional horror and does not want to frighten it, it carries an indie charm and offers a sincere performance at its core. However, the overall experience is somewhat uneven, which makes the film a mixed bag.
4. Romancham (2023)

Romancham is not a typical horror film; It is a horror comedy, and it doesn’t try to actually scare her. The story is based on real incidents by the life director Jithu Madhavan and unfolds in a rented house in Bangalore, in which a group of unemployed bachelors live together. Only one has a steady job while the others still find life. She bored and curious and decided to try an Ouija board one day, but things take an unexpected turn when you actually contact a ghost, and then the true chaos begins. The film contains a solid background assessment by Sushin Shyam and the Song Aadharanjali, which at that time became a massive hit.

3. Kumari (2022)

Kumari plays in the 1970s or 80s and follows a freshly married woman, played by Aishwarya Lekshmi who goes into her husband’s villa. There is a disturbing atmosphere that all seem to understand around them, but nobody speaks. It is not aware of the dark underflooring and begins to dig deeper. If the truth moves closer, the real question arises: is it or its relationship in danger? And maybe it would have been safer to make it easier to make yourself happier?
2. The priest (2021)
Available on: Prime Video
The priest is not a pure horror film; It combines elements of a investigative thriller, something that many horror films try, but it leans more into it. The film plays Mammootty as Ghost Hunter and marks the directorial debut of Rekhachithithrams Jofin T. Chacko. The conspiracy revolves around an orphan girl who is bound to her school teacher and often escapes from the orphanage. It is generally calm and withdrawn and appears disturbed. But are your behavioral problems rooted in something supernatural? She is a witness to something she shouldn’t see. A murderer is sent to silence them, but fails in a mysterious way. Something or someone protects you. But what exactly is it?
1. Bramayugam (2025)
Available on: Sononyliv
Bramayugam, another remarkable film with Mammootty, needs little introduction, especially if you are familiar with Mollywood. With its striking black and white images and a fascinating background score by Christo Xavier, the film creates an immersive, side atmosphere. While it is a gripping experience overall, the action protocols can feel a bit predictable. Nevertheless, the film unfolds with layers of meaning and shows that nothing is as it seems when you look at the first. We have already published a detailed analysis in which the depths of Bramayugam were examined. So once you have seen you, read this article and consider whether you give the film a second o’clock.
