Fear in the family - A fresh new take on the horror genre. Honestly, this was a pretty good movie until the end. It also has a visual style that makes the story it's own. Well shot and interesting. The directing was fantastic. Jaaved Jaaferi's performance was excellent. This movie was fine while it was a family drama and the family had me hooked, with or without horror elements.
The music was haunting and adds to the unnerving atmosphere as does some of the most effective sound design, never being obvious or cheap and providing a lot of eeriness.
The writing flows well and never becomes corny or overly-wordy, sometimes even thought-provoking in particularly in what it has to say about grief and trauma. While a deliberate slow-burn for me 'Lupt' was not dull at all, helped enormously by the atmosphere and the near-perfect balance of family drama
If you're more used to typical horror movies that are gore...this isn't for you. But, if you keep an open mind like me, you might like, if not necessarily love Lupt. I loved this movie.
