Horror Story



Cast: Karan Kundra(Neel),Nishant Malkani(Achint),Ravish Desai(Maghesh),Hasan Zaidi(Samrat),Aparna Bajpai(Maggie),Radhika Menon(Neena),Nandini Vaid(Sonia)
Director: Ayush Raina
Genre: Horror

Now this one is not a bad watch. Look out more for the survival quotient than the spooky content!

Pluses:
  • So finally Vikram Bhatt comes out with something which is worth a watch :) Keeping the expectations low for movies of such genres will help. However, the focus of the flick was never just horror elements, but more on how to survive the night or how to escape. You see a lot of sense in the characters of this flick which otherwise is missing in most of horror flicks
  • Good logics applied, all the stupidities you always saw in other horror stuffs and would wonder, why no one ever applies some common sense! This one wont disappoint you!
  • Scary elements are very much present. But since the focus is not this, you dont crticize much even if it fails to spook you, however it does time to time scare you
  • What worked for me in this movie: When you start feeling yourself as one of the members stuck there, and are yourself figuring out what could be the way out, and then you see one after another strategies failing, is when it gets spooky
  • The entire starcast did their jobs well! You dont have to act much apart from freaking out :D So, they freaked out quite at par :P

Lukewarm:

The climax. As usual, even after building the premise pretty good, they couldnt figure how to put an end to an otherwise seemingly impossible mission to escape. So, they simply conjured up something to end this positively

Minuses:

This movie is to enjoy, i dont want to dig into quality aspect of it



My rating: 3/5
