The movie is laughable.The plot is so contrived and none of the characters are believable. The character development goes nowhere. The mother is also, besides hot, not a good actress. With the right manuscript I have seen both of the main actors do well but this is just not working. For me this became a comedy quite a short while into the movie. And not a very good one at that.

Horror fans after shock scares, gore and sheer terror will find this a disappointment, it's a horror, but subtle in its delivery, it boasts a sinister plot, plays on fears, and delivers its scares with purpose.Instead of the typical British or American creaky house, we're transported to India, and its colours and sunshine, it certainly makes you see a horror film differently.It's well acted, well produced, I don't know why, but I kept thinking of the Woman in Black, that kind of delivery. For the first forty minutes very little happens, we get back story, plot, but little action, it's more creepy then scary.Not for everyone, but I enjoyed it.

After the death of their son, a couple living in Mumbai trying to cope learn a mystical way of bringing them back to communicate with them again only to find that something sinister is following them home and must find a way of stopping the spirits' influence on them.This one wasn't that bad if an altogether decent supernatural affair. One of the few great parts about this one is the fact that it manages to get the conditions and practices of the ceremony into the story rather nicely. The way it details the instructions specifically, from the manner of how to get there and what to do when they arrive and in what precise order it must be carried out in order to work properly, these are all handled quite well and gives this the kind of set-up which brings the scenes in the temple itself their inherent creepiness. By going through the motions of retrieving the ashes, arriving and preparing the candles and the layout of the ceremonial trinkets that are prepared for the start of the ritual inside which is quite creepy and works due to these early set-ups as well as the details of the temple itself. Once it comes back to the rather impressive supernatural details later on, this one is even better with the series of rather chilling events showing the demonic spirit tormenting her and her family out in the slums of the city or the series of rather tense confrontations in their home which are rather fun and chilling from the accidental death in their backyard or the battle in the kitchen with the possessed individual. With so many of these scenes featuring the rather creepy and chilling looking designs of the spirits taken directly from Hindu folklore for their appearance, this makes for a much more shocking look that really helps this one, this one manages to really get some impressive elements here although it does have it's fair share of sizable flaws. The main one here is the fact that so much of what happens here doesn't have the slightest bit of interest here as it's just not that chilling or scary to go through the rather bland scenes of their marital problems or her physical condition which manifests itself following her return. There's way too much melodrama in this part which doesn't come off in the slightest bit interesting following the stellar opening half with the accident and the ceremony, so that dip really appears obvious with some really troubling and bland scenes that feature the wholly expected jump scares of shrieking ashen-faced specters only she can see that are just so expected and clichéd that they're not even that worthy of generating the jump. That becomes a recurring theme here where it tends to rely on this clichéd look and topic for the vast majority of it's scares and it really becomes old after awhile not only seeing the same type of scares but going through the motions again. Likewise, the other big problem area here is the fact that the ending is somewhat abrupt and just seems to end really without warning, stopping and just rolling credits which somewhat neuters the effects just shown beforehand. Otherwise, this one wasn't all too terrible overall.Rated R: Violence, Language, children-in-jeopardy and implied animal violence.

I remember going to the movie theater to watch "The Sixth Sense" by M. Night Shyamalan. I was not expecting a lot, no bias since I had not read any review and I was the first among my friends and family to watch it, so really good to be total unaware in a movie like that. Looking back, it is unbelievable that just turned the calendar to 2017. 2017!!! So, The Sixth Sense is almost reaching "the legal age". It is actually 18 in my country! And absolutely I have not watched a better movie of this genre ever since. Some horror movies are actually gore. Others are so cliché it is not worthy watching 5 minutes.This movie was so poorly made I can't understand that happens. It looks like some kid wrote it. They exaggerated in many of the scenes just pure nonsense and nothing adding up a good ghost story, it is even hard to rate this and be simple but I will try: "It is a bad horror movie". Just bad! Five is already a good rate for this. I am happy I saw it on TV and not in the theater.
