'Murmur' OTT release date: When and where to watch the hyped horror film

The Tamil film 'Murmur', which hit theatres on March 7, 2025, is now set for its much-anticipated digital release. The makers have officially confirmed that the movie will begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Tentkotta starting April 4, 2025. The announcement generated excitement among horror film enthusiasts who missed it in cinemas. The OTT release is expected to give the film a second life, reaching a wider audience globally.
A thriller with a supernatural twist
Touted as Tamil cinema's first found-footage horror film, 'Murmur' follows a group of Chennai-based paranormal YouTubers who enter a mysterious, cursed forest. Their goal is to document real-time supernatural events involving the terrifying “Seven Saptha Kannigal” and a vengeful spirit said to haunt the area. As the group ventures deeper into the forest, they are each confronted by personal demons, blurring the line between psychological trauma and actual paranormal phenomena. The gripping storyline builds tension through eerie visuals and immersive soundscapes.
Disappearance and recovered footage drive the horror element
The mystery escalates when the team vanishes, and only their chilling video footage is recovered by the police. These tapes, filled with disturbing visuals and unexplainable occurrences, reveal a fragmented narrative of what truly happened inside the haunted woods. The film’s unique narrative style and immersive sound design have contributed to its growing buzz, especially among horror fans and thrill-seekers.
Social media buzz and influencer support amplify the film’s reach
'Murmur' stars Devraj, Richie Kapoor, Yuvikha Rajendran, Aria Selvaraj, and Suganya Shanmugam. Directed and written by Hemnath Narayanan, the film features cinematography by Jason Williams and editing by Rohith V. Notably, the film gained momentum during its theatrical run as popular Tamil social media influencers who consistently promoted it through reactions, breakdowns, and viral horror challenges, drawing a younger audience to theatres and creating significant word-of-mouth attention.
