As a self-proclaimed movie enthusiast, one of the things I enjoy most is going into a film with no prior knowledge, allowing myself to be completely surprised by what unfolds on the big screen.
However, while experiencing the film, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment.
There was an overwhelming sense of déjà vu. As the story unfolded, it became increasingly evident that the movie was following a blueprint we've seen many times before.
While the inclusion of Indian protagonists hinted at a refreshing departure from the beaten path of American horror, the movie ultimately failed to capitalize on its potential. By resorting to the same tired clichés and lacking in true cultural depth, it missed the mark in delivering a memorable and distinct horror experience. As someone who revels in the unknown when it comes to movies, I left the theater with a sense of disappointment. Nevertheless, the positive surprise of the protagonists' cultural background reminds us of the importance of diverse representation in film.
Let's hope Bishal Dutta will get the opportunity to make a movie more personal.
