Serial killers, especially in our movies, leave a written clue at the crime spot for the investigator to pursue. Without someone to follow the lead and grudgingly appreciate their intelligence, half the kick they get from the act would be gone. For a serial killer committing such acts as revenge, leaving such clues and letting the investigator figure out a pattern appears to be compulsory, even when the revenge takes a backseat at times.
The serial killer in Midhun Manuel Thomas’ Abraham Ozler is no different, although, in this film, he leaves something other than the frequently used Bible quotes. This generic template is one of the many Abraham Ozler, written by Randheer Krishnan, ticks. For one, there is the brooding police investigator Abraham Ozler (Jayaram), who is yet to recover from the disappearance of his wife and daughter some years ago. Hallucinatory visions appear before the insomniac Ozler early on in the movie, before the scriptwriter forgets this particular facet of the character and lets him run free with the investigation.
