1920 Movie Review

Another horror film, not as hyped as Ram Gopal Varma’s. But its typical fare from the Bhatt clan (remember Raaz?). Story of Love complicated by Lust in the background of Horror.

1920 is not a very scary film but it has a few moments here and there that shock you. In the classic Vikram Bhatt style, the story is very nicely interwoven with the horror element.

The story unfolds with Arjun (Rajneesh Duggal) moving into a new house with his wife (Adah Sharma). And as expected, the house welcomes them with strange and spooky events all around. As the story progresses through these events we discover that the wife is possessed by a spirit – predictable fare, with the hero rescuing her by chanting Hanuman Chalisa in the end.

What I really loved about the movie is the the screen play. The sepia tinted British Castle, the period look and feel of the movie. Amazing camera cinematography. And must say, Vikram Bhatt has improved a great deal. He is more subtle yet more strong this time. This movie is one of his best works. Newcomers Rajneesh and Adah are both very very impressive. Adah is particularly very good, she has the potential to strike big.

Overall its a fairly watchable film. The promos of the film tell you exactly what to expect from the film and you wouldn’t be disappointed.

Rating – 2.5/5

3. Phoonk Movie Review Okay folks… this movie is NOT scary. Ram Gopal Varma should probably apply for a course in Hollywood to learn how to experiment with his technique in handling horror films. He ends up making Phoonk similar to Vaastu Shastra, Bhoot and Raat. Ram Gopal Varma has only few fear-inducing-tools in his kitty- a creepy background [...]...
