The release trailer which has an eerie tone overall, begins with an equally eerie music, with Pranav Mohanal sitting in isolation at a home, where something is not okay. Lights flicker, and Pranav's film tells us that it is based on 'some true events. A mighty and mysterious voiceover sends some chills, while Pranav's character seems to be going through some horrific emotions. The voiceover talks about the dead waking up, and a woman (presumably dead) opening her eyes. Much like the director’s previous films, Dies Irae too looks like minimal on casting, but technically strong.
