Reviewed on 2008-02-19 Innovative German Horror A truly different and intelligent horror film with some very intense acting. Even the dubbing did not deter from the great storylines and dialogue. I liked the exotic appeal of the themes and the fact that it is based on the "The Taylor-Eriksson Group," an extreme cult that supposedly existed in Poona, India about twenty years ago. In the film it's mentioned that this group was responsible for the "primal scream" therapy. According to what I've researched, this is actually the name of a book by Dr. Arthur Janov, the inventor of Primal Therapy. So, not to spoil things for you, but I later found out that the entire idea for this cult was fictional. This film reminds me of a European version of the "Asian Horror" trend, in its own unique way. It's got a very neat, packaged feeling to it, but at the same time, it's really innovative. I liked how the movie has different chapters, although initially I didn't know if I would be a big fan of this. I would hope to see more films like this coming from Germany, as I found this one to be very interesting.

Reviewed on 2006-08-22 No tears watching this This German horror film (dubbed) revolves around a group of people (back in the heyday of the 1980s !!!) who experiment with Indian religion/meditation. The film then diverges into two separate short stories about two different horrors that come out of that group's experiments. One is a woman who desires to get to the truth of how her brother died - by visiting a mental patient (part of the group). She learns that in the experiments they were able to conjour up evil spirits. The other story also involves someone conjouring up another murderous spirit.

Reviewed on 2006-04-15 Surprising good! I don't know why I rent this movie, I have never heard of it. However I really enjoyed it. It is well shot, with more than decent FXs for a low budget movie. The dvd image is not as sharp as it should be and the sound is ok, but the movie is GOOOOOOD! This is to show Hollywood that big boudget special effects are not what makes a movie, sometime less is more. Overall: VERY GOOD!

Reviewed on 2006-01-01 Great Low-Budget Horror With a Nice Gimmick "Tears of Kali" is actually three films; three short stories centered around people involved with a cult that practiced Indian mysticism. All three stories focus on ex-cult members, after the cult is disbanded when its leader is murdered (torn to pieces by something/someone). This movie does have a low budget but it really earns its "R" rating: there's plenty of nudity, blood and gore. This film is not a "Ring" type of horror movie. The sound is not so great, the original German dialog is dubbed over poorly but some of the performances are really good. If you are a horror film fan, then this film is definitely worth seeing.
