What the critics say

Reviews split on Iruttu: some call it an engaging, fresh horror thriller with strong cinematography, music and sound design despite a weak climax and casting concerns, while another says its promising start gives way to dated performances and genre confusion.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
