Can't for the life of me figure out why the language is 90% Indian and then you hear English words in it like 'Thank You' or 'Complicated' or once in a while its a little sentence in English. If you're gonna do it in one language then do it. Does have a kind of cheesy plot. Subtitles would have been great. Just throwing this out there for the Canucks that want to download this and watch because it has a good rating. I guess I need to have 10 lines of text so I'm going to write a lot about nothing in order for this post to post. Giggity giggity goo. Oh I need 2 more lines so please ignore these last 5 lines as I get ready to post this stuff.KB

The only reason I don't give this movie a 10 is the slower pacing of its first half. Overall, the main cast does a really convincing job, the story is really smart, the camera work and especially the soundtrack are really creepy. This movie is a better psycho-thriller than most of the Hollywood productions heavily promoted and released this decade, many of them relying on bad taste violence, blood and gore. It's the story that makes this movie and the natural performances of the likable characters which make many moments more credible than you'd expect. You actually care about what's going to happen to them in the end. To put it short, it's been a while since I've felt so tense during a movie. While the first half could have been cut shorter by 20 minutes or so, it still keeps you guessing and biting your nails in anticipation of terror. The second half really delivers many creepy moments and scares, especially some really smart twists which will glue you to the couch. Some people complained about the two songs featured in the movie being pointless. I can tell you they were not. The first song stands for a love scene, replacing nudity with some playful moments between the main characters, it's a different, subtle and sweet portrayal of a sex scene, while the second song really serves its purpose of depicting the happy times the family goes through at a certain point.Another small letdown is the final scene which I understand was meant to be more of a joke, but it could have been easily cut, since the actual conclusion was really satisfying.Final verdict: watch this one, you'll be surprised, in a good way!

There are a very few thrillers in Bollywood which have a good concept and also manage to utilize it well. 13B is one of them. One of the best Horror films I've seen in a long time in Bollywood, which not only had a good plot but was also very well written. It was something different than the usual Horror movies where there is a good attempt as far as background sound, cinematography & art direction are concerned but unfortunately they don't have a story to support all that. 13B sure is an exception. The acting was all brilliant, very convincing, and didn't have the cheezy touch to it. The story grips you till the end, it keeps getting tense and intriguing. One of the things lacking in the films was it's publicity which was very poor, the promotion song used was the very thing that was keeping me to watch the films, thankfully I got over it.

No Goddess killing the evil at the end or Any girl walking in white sari singing a love song, but it is hard to believe that it is a ghost thriller movie. Expectations were quite high even before it was released. The simple reason was because of the National award winning technicians such as PC Sriram, Srikarprasad, AS Lakshmi Narayanan, Shankar Ehsaan Loy and last but not the least Maddy. The Technical Part is quite outstanding. The colours used in the movie is not at all for a thriller movie but PC has taken us to another level. The Editing and the BG score is brilliant. The apartment set and the costumes give the viewer a perfect upper middle class effect. The Apt Artists makes it even better one. Maddy dominates the entire movie but his family members have done a controlled performance which is a add-on. The accolades should go to the director for congregating the greats in the industry.On whole a refreshing thriller for all Hindi fans and a Brand new great experience for the Tamil fans.I thank the movie crew for giving such a wonderful movie as it is long since i got my money worth watching a movie.PS: Lifts,TV's and Mobile phones becoming demons is inevitable.
