Sitges Review: Samjad's 'Half' Merges Hip-Hop Beats With Brutal Vampire Horror

Samjad's 'Half' premiered at the Sitges Film Festival, delivering a lean, violent fusion of hip-hop rhythm and vampire carnage set in a scorching, near-future Madras. The film draws immediate comparisons to 'From Dusk Till Dawn' but carves its own identity through kinetic action choreography and a distinct South Indian dystopian palette.
