Hindi Horror Movies of 2013

Aatma - Starring Bipasha Basu and
Nawazuddin Siddiqui - this movie, which was released in March, tells
of a woman trying to save her daughter from the evil and possessive
ghost of her dead husband. The movie received mixed reviews - from
being not particularly frightening to being thrilling, ultimately
winning two stars by most reviewers.

Rise Of The Zombie - Even with such less
releases of horror movies, 2013 still saw
the release of the first Indian zombie
movie with 'Rise of the Zombie' -
directed, produced and acted in by Luke
Kenny of 'Rockstar' fame. A wildlife photographer gets ditched by his
girlfriend and he slowly starts becoming
a monster. Even with a limited release,
this movie won mixed to positive
reviews by critics.

Ek Thi Daayan - Released in April, 'Ek Thi
Daayan' had an impressive cast (Emraan
Hashmi, Kalki Koechlin and Konkona Sen
Sharma) - as well as positive review
from critics, although it did not go down
well with the audiences. Magic, repressed memory, hypnotism and the
supernatural come together in this film to make for one of the biggest
horror movies so far in 2013.

Horror Story - All set to release on
September 13, 'Horror Story' has been
directed by Vikram Bhatt and tells of
seven young people who decide to stay
at a haunted hotel one night just for fun.
The movie will see some relatively new faces - and sequels to the movie are
already in the offing, even before its
release. The posters and trailer look
fantastic - and so should the movie.

Ragini MMS 2 - The last horror movie this year is the sequel to the
2011 original
'Ragini MMS' - slated for an October
release. The talking point of this movie is
obviously Sunny Leone, who was
apparently paid one crore for her role -
and the trailer of the movie too is going to be released on September 13. Friday
the 13th seems to be auspicious for
horror movies, it seems.

With five movies for 2013, 2014 has only
one confirmed Bollywood horror flick -
Vikram Bhatt's 'Creature 3D' starring
Bipasha Basu and Imran Abbas Naqvi.
