It Follows
(2014)

Very Bad
One of the worst "horror" movies I've ever seen! Very slow. Boring. Predictable. Basically just a 80's teen flick that tries too hard. The ending was atrocious, if you can even call that an ending! I had very high expectations, but should've believed to the negative reviews. I genuinely wish I could take that hour and forty minutes of my life back.

American Beauty
(1999)

American Beauty: A flawless masterpiece.
This is a really good movie and i recommend anyone to check it out. it's emotionally good , a huge classic from DreamWorks Pictures and the aesthetic of the movie matches its plot of the story.it's very beautiful movie. A must see for everyone who hasn't had the chance to see it yet. A must see also for the ones who already watched it and want to rewatch it.

Ittefaq
(2017)

GREAT movie !!!
Ittefaq Its a well written and surprisingly well performed act with everything in it; from edge to sense or drama to reality or script to execution, (few scenes can be neglected for the debutant director) its the whole package wrapped in a 107 minutes. Didn't expected the ending, must admit, one of few good movies with excellent storyline. (even for bollywood)

A Wednesday
(2008)

Awesome thriller on terrorism
Nov 21, 2018 "A Wednesday" is both a well-paced thriller and a thought-provoking social commentary. It is the rare Bollywood movie that is devoid of song and dance, the perfect runtime, and grounded in reality. I enjoyed this movie because it kept me on the edge of my seat and I never knew what turn the story would take. wonderfully directed by Neeraj Pandey, and wonderfully acted by the veteran Naseeruddin Shah, a must watch.

Kahaani
(2012)

A must watch for suspense movie lovers!
Kahaani is a thrilling ride from start to finish - when a pregnant Vidya Bagchi travels to Kolkata in search of her missing husband, the viewers are taken on an intense, emotional journey to solve the mysteries presented to Vidya throughout the film. I wont go into much detail of what happens but what i will say is what unfolds is an mystery with many twists and turns that becomes increasingly dangerous as the film progresses. Excellent film, highly recommended viewing.

Badla
(2019)

Awesome screenplay, great Acting!
A tale of gripping truth, unexpected twists and brilliant performances from the main cast. This film surely delivers in all front! From the story to the execution, It reflects brilliance. It is an another memorable addition to the filmography of Amitabh Bachchan. Gripping story and nice performance by Amitabh.

Tumbbad
(2018)

Phenomenal !!
The story writing and the direction was out of the box. A horror story with no ghost but a moral message. If you love to watch quality movies and not rubbish "red chillies" movies then you will fall in love with this art. This is first and unique of its class in India. Absolute must-see.

Truth or Dare
(2018)

Not that scary.
Nice Plot ,Unpredictable Ending But not Scary and Something Not Make sense Enough. Ending was a little bit unexpected in my opinion, so at least that was good, but overall was pretty average and not that scary.

Eli
(2019)

Weird, but not outright scary.
Charlie Shot well did a great job bringing Eli to life and the plot was interesting. Eli is a horror movie with some great twists and turns, keeping you at the edge of your seat. Great atmosphere, intriguing story, awesome finale.

28 Days Later...
(2002)

n imaginative well-directed movie.
An equally thrilling and beautiful execution here, with a premise that isn't all that original, makes this one of the best zombie movies I have seen. I am a big fan of Alex Garland and usually appreciate Boyle's work so not sure why it took a third of the world going into lockdown for me to finally get around to this one. 28 days later holds its own against any other movie in its genre it really has it all and then some.

Aval
(2017)

Nice Movie.
The Best Horror Movie made in India. A neatly crafted ghost story having enough spooks, a good story and a subtle message. Strange it came and went without many knowing about it. Recommended.

Lupt
(2018)

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.

Bloodline
(2015)

FANTASTIC
During Lockdown iam finishing the best web series. This one is Gripping storytelling. The characters and acting are superb. Can't stop watching. Currently binge watching on Netflix. Love it! Completed season 1 thus far.

Derek
(2012)

Liked Series 1
I liked series 1, the performances were greatSeries 2 lost that a bit focusing less on humour and more on death and while it has great moments it doesn't hold up as well. Giving 7/10

Dream Horse
(2020)

Nice
