Seven friends decide
that after a night of drinking that the best way to cap off the night is with a
trip to an abandoned hotel that is rumored to be haunted in the film HORROR
STORY (2013). Now, I’ll forgive the film
for the oblivious cliché of a horror set up even though there is no logical
explanation given for these seven friends to ever even be interested in going
to an abandoned and rumored haunted hotel but without these characters’ bad
decisions we wouldn’t have a horror film to watch.
There is not an original story element to be had in this
Hindi horror film which borrows heavily from horror films from the ‘90s. Characters make stupid choices that usually
end up pretty bad for everyone. This
being said, the film itself looks really good with some amazing production
design for the abandoned hotel. The film
is very creepy and the actors, despite doing the best that they can with the
material, are not all that bad either.
The film has a lot of atmosphere with some engaging cinematography that
fits the story and moves the plot along.
Unfortunately, all these great elements are lost in a film
that is over twenty years past its expiration date. An interesting film for horror fans looking
for something else but little else.
