The winning team of LUST STORIES unite to tell some spine - chilling tales. Ghost Stories is an upcoming 2020 Indian anthology horror film, consisting of four short film segments.
According to Netflix, The biggest challenge faced by studios and directors helming horror projects is that their audience usually commences watching such content with the resolution that they will not get scared.
There is no need to worry about making such a resolution here as this 4-part anthology titled Ghost Stories has the ability to unnerve and spoof you in parts. Unfortunately for horror buffs, it will not scare you. Ghost Stories Netflix didn’t scare me (now that’s a big turn off for anyone wanting to start 2020 with horror night).
Three episodes did manage to be creepy to some extent, but a few flaws prevented them from being elevated even further.
The final film of Ghost Stories (Netflix) is just shy of 40 minutes. It gives us a lesson about why scoffing at someone’s belief could be injurious to well being. This one has horror and it has a ghost story.
All the episodes are made brilliantly and have all the ingredients for good horror. Unfortunately they aren’t used. Quite a shame. Just a few better edits and this would have been quite good.
A step in the right direction? Yes, they have made some breakthroughs The ideas and the first and last episode are good. And how can one forget that awesome animated opening sequence? That sets the tone which isn’t maintained throughout.
