Scare me…. please.
I have always been a huge fan of horror flicks. I still remember as child I used to watch the zee horror show.The first few episodes were quite good, infact I remember a episode called “saaya” in which the ghost of rapist named vikranta was shown……i was so scared that vikranta haunted me for almost a week then. Later on, that show became more of a comedy show with zombies walking (but still will chase down anyone running),amavasya where actually moon was shown, dog barking rather crying in a very familiar voice…….In my growing up days I got my hands on everything which seemed remotely horror. The Ramsay brothers churned out many number of zee-horror kind of movies. be it purana mandir, purani haveli, darwaza, veerana, sannata, dahshat and many more…..i never liked these movies because they were not able to scare me barring a few scenes…also I was then exposed to horror flicks from other side of the world with the likes the Exorcist.and the entity (which don’t scare me these days)…….Rajkumar Kohli made Bees saal baad with Dimple kapadia and Mithun..the only scene that I remember till date is Dimple extending her hand for about a km….there are a few old movies…. even from black and white era, but they never scared me. May be just because they don’t stand tall against today’s standard…..Also it would be great if someone could share some old horror flicks.

@Anand K,
I recently saw “Gauri-The Unborn” thats ultimate amalgam between horror and social welfare ministry and Health Ministry and future based Minsitry for women welfare:d.
Whichever organisation be it health , social or religious opposes Abortion will whole heartedly support and promote the film.
Ramsey, RGV are children before Gauri’s concept.
Its modern and goes back to the time when Abhimanyu was learning art of archery while living in womb of his mother.

You seem to be interested in spoiling completely life of urmila Martondkar and RGV
;)
“After many years RGV remade Raat into Bhoot, which was cliched but still had it
RK ,
i have not seen Gauri the unborn child …is it that bad ?? …and seriously what has happnd to Urmila where is she….she was good in ek haseena thi ,bhoot and even in Pinjar …. …
and RGV’s life is already spoiled afer making aag …hoping he would come back with a bang with sarkaar raaj
most scary movie…..
hmm…
kabhi alvida na kehna..gosh im so scared of the movie i cant watch it again..
Abhinav …i never said bhoot is a classic …..when i first saw it in the multiplex ..i liked it..the camera angles worked for me….
ashwin lol ….:d i knew someone would come up with kank ….
@Anand (3),
I did not say Gauri is bad. Atul Kulkarni, Anupam Kher might have worked in it seeing its social message. Its director’s first film. Given subjects new touch it wont bring boredom in first (and only) watching. I would not be schoked if I get to know that this is also copy of some hollywood horror flick.
—
Madhuri, Karisma, Raveena all have married and mothers by now and they have either made their come back or are planning, so given these conditions Urmila can be busy in searching settlement in personal life. How long one can look for illusionary filmi career;)
But as once an actor always an actor so even if she marries she will be coming in films again and again.
History suggests those who married remained in benefits:)
–
what can be said about RGV. Media and his fans make his every film as his come back film.
was Sarkar a big hit and great? so that Sarkar Raj-a film falling in same category can uplift his image and bring him back in list of great directors?
I dont know, would be knowing after seeing SR.:)
i am telling you someone should make a film on “On Sunday You Should Not Cut Nails”.
Apparently, RGV will be making a horror film (presumably after ‘Contract’) – ‘Phoonk’
oh and, Manish Gupta (writer of D, Sarkar, directed a short in DZH), is making a movie on a Mumbai serial killer
@Anand Kadam(5)
I prefer Saurabh Narang’s Vaastu Shastra to Bhoot.The horror moments were equally bad in the former,but it had an obvious Kubrick influence(The Shining).The performances were dot-on,and overall the film was worth a watch
HG ..looking forward to phoonk…..and also to the mumbai serail killer flick ….anywasy any film with kay kay menon should be worth a wait ….
btw serial killing won’t fall under horror ..
Hey guys since you are diccussing about Hindi horror films,did anyone see Mahesh Bhatt’s Junoon?I was a rip off from a hollywood movie(Manimal,I guess).A more tighter scipt,better actors would have made it a good watch.Among the recent horror films,I liked Kaal.
RK,
Sarkaar was the last good movie by ramu ..so having some hopes form sarkaar-raj…lets see …
ANINDYA …ya i remeber Junoon …It had rahul roy who would turn into a tiger at night
…..and kaal was only style no substance …
HG …why dont you make a short on
Bees Saal Baad (older one) was the one I couldn’t sleep for a few days after watching.. ofc I was 8 yr old kid then and the Panja of (Spoilers ahead)Manmohan K was the only thing that I could dreamt of, for so many days… ..
Raat was definitely very good specially considering the technology available in those days, and it was a refreshing change in the cinema of those times.. Revathy’s performance was just too good..
When it comes to compete with the worsts.. how about Hum Kaun Hain?
@ RK –
Can you give me any details/link for Gauri. also maybe a synopsis. from what u described, it sounds similar to the horror movie “idea” I had written and was trying to get produced. curious to see if they used the same angle as me.
Spilers Ahead:
Gauri-the unborn is story of happily living family -an architect,his wife and daughter shivani. when they go to their old home for vaction; the family is tortured by bhoot Gauri. Gauri was unborn child who was killed in abortion by the couple because at that time they were not ready to handle the child.
Film is more like anti abortion and in some parts horror but it don’t scare you.
Thanks shailesh.
That sounds so lame. I can go back to returning the chip to my handsome shoulder.
My movie is awesome.
Darna Mana Hai had some great stories. They were not that scary but quite spooky. The saif boman is my fav. Nana-vivek one was the crowd pleaser. The raguveer yadav one was good too. Antara sohail was ok. Aftab one was also a decent one for the concept.
Pavan Jha ,
Hum Kaun Hain? …is the one with big B and dimple na ??
Gaurang ..
DMH had some ok stories …but none of them was scary …
@Dabba (16),
Gauri- The unborn
[ http://imdb.com/title/tt0982875/ ]
Story does not travel on high level so dont think some of your story has been lifted. ;)
Its very ordinary story. Though doubt is still there that its inspired from some hollywood horror film. There may be twisted inspiration though.
Synposis : Atul and his wife live happily with their only daughter Shivani. Atul always busy in expanding hus business. Shivani is taking part in a race and suddenly an invisible hand pushes her and she falls down.
Her behaviour is changed fater this incidence. Her voice is changed at times. Atul’s wife insist to have a vacation abroad while Shivani insist that no they would go to their ancesteral house and parents have to surrender before her stubborn demand. They reach there and Shivani starts behaving more awkwardly there.
After sometime Parents are told by the ghost living inside the body of Shivani that she is ghost of their first daughter who was aborted in 3 months pregnancy. even her name was thought as Gauri.
Gauri threatens her parents that she had to suffer for 3 days inside womb of her mother that she might die anytime and now she will make 3 days of her parents as hell and after 3 days she will take away their darling daughter Shivani with her so that they realise what pain one feels.
—
Dialogues with full dose of morality are given to ghost and Anupam Kher to make Atul and his wife realise that abortion was a very big and bad mistake which they did. and they did sin so now they have to suffer.
Is it your plot?
RK, in Gauri…why shivani was pushed by Gauri on particular day of Race. why it did not appear before? like at the birth of shivani or something earlier..?
though the film was average i liked its special effects like… camerea travels from bedroom at night to roof of the house and soon it is converted to day.
@Shailesh,
In my opinion that pushing of Shivani etc in city is weak start of a horror story. Her parents should have brought her in their old house. Like they had a buyer and they wanted to spend few days there before selling it and only after reaching there events start happening.
If Gauri’s ghost could have come to city why she did wait for so many years?
So film suggest that like Shivani Gauri’s ghost was growing up;)
Then it was more convincing start. Considering Ghosts dont leave their local area;).
Story is very weak. Moreover perhaps intention was never to make a horror film but a film which may send fear to people standing in the thinkless cue of having abortion.
@Anand …
The character was played by Surendra Pal ..
and his name was Vikranta Zabbar …
I was also very scared at that time …
I was hardly 11 years old then …
I can still remember the scene when Vikranta rips the Inspector’s Throat and held his Head by his hairs …
That sight gave me goosebumps ..
BTW , I think Bhoot And Vaastushastra , both were good …
@ RK -
thanks for the synopsis. nowhere close to mine. the title was frighteningly close and on the surface the concept seemed similar. I was hawking this movie for a long time last year, trying to find producers. I thought maybe one of them declined to give me money and prodcued a z-grade version of it.
but fortunately that is not the case. Parallel development.
@ Avi ,
Thanks for the info …….i guess that episode was 2nd or 3rd episode of the show ….Bhoot was good can’t say the same abt vastushastra ….
@Dabba ji,
Now Gauri films existence makes your case more strong. Whatever is the fate of this Gauri film you can pursue your case on this basis.
Good luck. Hope now you get a producer to finance your project:)
@ RK –
Thanks. That was exactly what I was thinking too.
Here is my top 10 Horror List. Sorry None but one is from India. Horror is almost a dead genre now just like Rock musik.Let’s hope someone from India(I swear on Mrs. Bates, maybe someone from this forum) will revive that. Till then, I would try to satiate myself by watching these:
10. In The Mouth of Madness (John Carpenter)
9. Marebito (Takashi Shimizu)
8. Shivers (David Cronenberg)
7. Dark Water (Hideo Nakata)
6. Friday The 13th (S S Cunnigham)
5. Maniharaa (Satyajit Ray)
4. Three Extremes : Segment ‘BOX’(Takashi Miike)
3. Ringu (Hideo Nakata)
2. The Shining (Stanley Kubrik)
1. Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock)
let me know about your lists
kiyoshi kurosawa films scare the crapoutta me.
@anand kadam
yeah ..i remember vikranata too…his full name was vikranta jabbar i guess…..
yeah I remember Vikranta jabbar…aside from scaring me it was responsible for my friends at school making fun of me…that was the only time I complained to my parents about my name…
Yup…Bollywood doesent scare me at all. I remember being tickled by a Jaani Dushman, here and there. but thats it.
Cubicle, yours ia a good list.
Kishore Kumar was known in the industry, to be a horr-flick maniac. He used to buy every horror film released. I have a video of his room which is full of Horror film VHS’s !! Seeing that I am terrified !!
i love zee horror showwwww,……………….
