Horror movies never get old. Bollywood horror on the other hand is invariably a laugh riot. Take for example Vikram Bhatt’s Phoonk or the very recent Haunted 3D. Let’s not forget that Ragini MMS most certainly needed to be revaluated as a horror film. So can we expect something different with Ghost? Let’s review…

City Hospital witnesses a chain of brutal murders that go beyond human comprehension and the hospital is left to deal with the aftermath. A leading investigative agency entrusted with the case, assign it to their most competent officer Vijay Singh (Shiney Ahuja) and Dr Suhani (Sayali Bhagat) is amongst the first to be questioned. What follows is a journey into the unknown as what lies beneath slowly begins to surface.

Horror fans gear up. Pooja Bedi’s horror film seems to have just the right masala to make it a hit. But one might question how even in times of terror, people can fall in love. Then again, this is Bollywood and blurring the lines between being realistic and outright bizarre is not too much of an issue. The film claims to have portrayed the most frightening encounters between good and evil with blood and gore being the main highlights. Well, let’s hope we have a scary good time!
