Vishwak Sen and Gayatri Bharadwaj’s latest film, Cult, arrived in theatres this Friday, October 30. Directed by Vishwak Sen, the Telugu horror thriller follows a group of young boys who head to a party. However, things take an unexpected turn, leaving them fighting for survival.
Those who watched the film on its opening day have shared their reactions on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Let’s take a look at what viewers are saying about it.
Cult X review
So far, the film has received mixed reactions from viewers. While some have praised it as a “full-fledged slasher thriller”, one user even called it a “must-watch” film. The X post read, “Must Must Watch for the one of a kind Cult Experience #CULT dares to step away from familiar commercial storytelling and enters the territory of a full-fledged slasher thriller. The 1st half establishes its world, while the second half turns up the violence with brutal action (sic).”
However, not everyone seems impressed with the film. Some X users have pointed out its flaws. One viewer described the first half as “below par” and called the casting a “big minus”. He wrote, “Vishwak Sen peak duty #CULT Action, BGM motham vere level Unexpected Blockbuster (sic).”

Another user, who reviewed the film midway through the screening, described it as “directionless fun”. The user’s post read, “halfway through #CULT a very directionless fun (sic).”
