Just Not Enough to Scare the hell out of somebody!

The storyline is very interesting, different from the usual horror films. Even its narrative moves back and forth very effectively. Though there is not too much drama in the first half, the film picks up pace in the second and gives you a few goosebumps here and there. The director could have made t...(more)

Movie Review

Adapted from the Hollywood horror film Oculus (2014), Dobaara allows for some moments of fear, apprehension, dread and trepidation. Borrowing the template of the original, this paranormal thriller uses flashback as a technique to spook the audience and it is definitely a notch above the desi horror ...(more)

You won't want to mess with Huma Qureshi, Saaqib Salim�s mirror

Saqib Saleem and Huma Qureshi�s film has zero scares and plenty of goof-ups

Huma and Saqib play their parts well. The phase of the plot, where Natasha begins to break down, has been well done by the actress. Kabir walks a tightrope, as he is pulled by his own sister in a world of madness � the same world that he has forgotten after a decade long struggle. Saqib switches bet...(more)
