13B: Fear Has a New Address

Movie: 13B: Fear Has a New Address (2009)

“In today’s world, the major source of relief, information and entertainment is the TV. So much so, that it has moved up from its modest position of being just another ‘household appliance’ to actually determining the power equation in a family. It is easy to identify the hierarchy in the family depending on who controls the remote control. So what happens when the TV realizes this power and begins to take control? What happens when instead of showing you the facts, the TV, begins to show you what it wants you to see? What happens when Manohar, to his great horror, realizes that this is exactly what is happening with his wonderful family, who has just moved into their sweet new home at 13B. Written by Anonymous”

Trivia: The majority of the film takes place inside an apartment. A temporary shooting floor was created from scratch in Eg, Chennai inside which an elaborate apartment set was erected.

Goofs: Continuity: When the Electrician sent by Manohar to drill holes in the Pooja room gets a shock, we can see the electric socket on the wall, but later when Manohar is checking the room the wall is bare. Additionally, when Manohar is hammering the nails the first time and enters the Puja room, there is no electrical socket. So the electrical outlet was stuck to the wall only when the Eletrician comes in.
