13B

13 B scores in keeping it slick and suspenseful, and almost-fresh.

There's a disarmingly benign, albeit decidedly precious, charm to the film.

Despite its near-total absence of subtlety, bloated running time and, yes, even the inclusion of a couple of out-of-place musical sequences -- does manage to change to a relatively new channel.

Deteriorates into an ear-shattering scream fest... falls back on weary clichés in the climax.

A rare example of a flat-out Indian horror movie [that] borrows liberally from The Amityville Horror playbook and familiar Asian horror tropes, but the haunted soap opera is a new wrinkle.

J-horror-styled supernatural thriller from India doesn't have the gore or intensity of the real thing, and for many in the mainstream, that's a relief. Low-budget-looking but effective, with a great central gimmick.
