Critic Reviews

Anita Gates, New York Times
An intriguing if awkward Hindi horror movie.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
The movie belongs to Bollywood sex symbol Urmila Matondkar, who is terrific as the possessed wife.
Ed Gonzalez, Village Voice
What begins as a familiar supernatural thriller of the I-see-dead- people kind quickly descends into ludicrous revenge fantasy.
Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central
Bhoot could have easily taken its place among some of the better horror films out there.
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Though at two hours this non-musical supernatural tale is considerably shorter than most mainstream Indian films, it's still slow going, padded with long shots of the troubled apartment building underscored by a soundtrack full of moans and screams.

It was interesting to see an Indian horror film, I hadn't previously heard of any and so stumbled upon this quite late at night. I thought it was rather good, but the ending felt a little anti-climactic. Some of the ghost effects were very effective. One I would watch again.
