When I started watching, I thought it would be a complete waste of time. But to my surprise, it turned out to be much better than the other mass marketed stuff out there. I have to stress - this movie is NOT for everyone. This will not satisfy visual or audio connoisseurs. This *might* satisfy those that enjoy slasher gore; but it is not mindless and the psychological aspects won't be appreciated. This is not a movie that is meant to passively entertain you. If you disengage your brain while watching a movie, then you should probably skip this entirely.With that said:The movie is an anthology of three stories based on the after-effects of a form of experimental group "therapy" done in the 80s based on the archetypes of the Hindu religion. I have read a review complaining about the appropriation of eastern religious ideas by westerners. I agree that's a legitimate concern, but isn't that the entire point of the movie in the first place? It's about the consequences of dabbling in forces (psychological or otherwise) that one does not understand; and that these consequences reach into the future and effect the lives of others. I went into this movie with the opinion that you have to be born into that culture to really understand it's religion; and I left the movie the same way. This movie is an example of how good storytelling and well written characters are far more important than flashy FX or style. A unique movie, chock full of substance, is a "must see" for those who enjoy being actively engaged in psychological thrillers.

As the description says, it is three segments about a mysterious cult. A "reporter" with a hidden agenda manages to get the "inner demon" of Elizabeth (Jandris Irena-Heliana) released in the first segment with almost deadly consequences.The demon attack, and the bizarre suicide, barely compensated for the low budget look of the film.I have never seen anger management therapy the way this cult practices it. A man who wanted to jump out of his skin was literally forced to remove his skin. It won't help in this life, but it will make him better in the next.I am not really sure about the third segment. It was just strange.

Unfortunately, the R1 DVD of "Tears of Kali" is dubbed in English with no subtitle option. It was hard to fully immerse myself in the creepiness of the film considering that the dub job is one of the most hideous these ears have ever heard. I would love to revisit this in the future with English subs. The movie has a fair share of sick gore, but more interesting to me is that it has a unique and more familiar take on cults than most horrors (especially 70s exploitation) do. It works sort of like an anthology horror in that it consists of three shorts that take place in present time. The catch is that each features characters who were once connected to the Taylor-Erikkson cult in India in the 80s. Very original and creepy movie, but damn that dub job!

Laughed a lot - because it is so incredibly bad - sorry folks, but definitely one of the worst movies I have ever seen... I know it is low budget, but anyway: the actors behave like playing in a soap, the dialogues are absolutely crappy and the last time I have seen such odd pictures was at a trash nite at some youth video festival ten years ago. I really appreciate that people gather together and shoot cheap movies, but at least a certain amount of quality should be accomplished. But at least one good thing: the first three minutes of the movie were quiet interesting and looked okay - and the score was really worth listening to. The DVD cover promised a lot, but that is by far the best this film has to offer...
