5 Malayalam Horror Movies On OTT Platforms

‘Bramayugam’- SonyLiv

‘Bramayugam’ is a gripping horror film centred around ancient curses and the horrifying repercussions of long-buried secrets that resurface unexpectedly. Mammootty delivers a powerful performance, but it’s best to experience the film without any prior knowledge of his character’s true identity.

Drawing comparisons to ‘Tumbbad’ (2018), the movie explores themes of greed and the devastating effects of cursed legacies. With an impressive IMDb rating of 7.8, ‘Bramayugam’ is a must-watch and is available for streaming on SonyLIV.

‘Devadoothan’

‘Devadoothan’ is a hauntingly poetic film starring Mohanlal as Vishal Krishnamoorthy, a celebrated musician invited to perform at his alma mater. However, upon his arrival, strange occurrences and ghostly whispers guide him towards uncovering a tragic tale buried deep in the institution's history. As he delves into this mystery, he faces the restless spirit of a young woman whose life ended in betrayal and sorrow.

‘Devadoothan’ masterfully blends emotional depth with eerie suspense, creating a uniquely gripping experience. With an IMDb rating of 7.7, the film is available for streaming on Prime Video.

‘Bhoothakaalam’

Bhoothakaalam is a compelling psychological horror film that delves into the complex themes of grief, trauma, and the blurred line between reality and the supernatural. The story follows Vinu (Nigam) and his mother Asha (Revathi), who move into a secluded house where eerie events begin to unravel their fragile reality. Unlike typical haunted house horror movies, Bhoothakaalam focuses on the psychological impact of loss and the emotional scars left behind.
