Horror Friday: Horror Story from India

Dear Visitor,

I watched this one last year on Netflix and thought it was entertaining and funny at the same time. I know it's not meant to be funny but it just came out that way. 

One of the things that confused me about the language of the movie was that sometimes they would speak English. You know how Spanglish is a mix of Spanish and English? It was kinda like that. So it was a mix of Hindi and English. The film is abut a group of friends who think it's a brilliant idea to spend the night at haunted hotel as a last hurrah for a fiend who is moving abroad. While there they find all kinds of creepy things and later discover that they hotel was once an insane asylum. But now the malevolent spirit that calls the hotel home, refuses to let the group of friends leave! Who will survive the night? Check out Netflix and find out.

I did enjoy this movie, but I thought the language was distracting. I really don't mind subtitles. In fact, I love foreign language movies with subtitles. I guess a mix of languages isn't something I'm used to. There were also a couple of cool jump scares or shocking moments I really liked. My favorite was were the group finds a car in the underground garage of the hotel and drives off to freedom...until a fog comes over them and they make a turn right into the hallway in front of the most haunted room of the hotel!

Anyway, I thought that this movie was fun to watch. I wasn't really scary, but it was entertaining and sometimes suspenseful. I hope I can find more Bollywood horror movies in the future.

With Love,

M.G.
