Ayush Raina
The film is laden with spookily created jarring
sounds and successfully builds the fearsome aura.
The film is heavily inspired from flicks like The
Exorcist along with the climax turning into a bhoot-fair of sorts!
Vikram Bhatt’s expertise over the genre is
impressionable but Horror Story isn’t the best of his work. The film uses too
many ideas from popular films like The Ring and lacks tremendously on
elaborating the writer’s imaginative bent! It is a brazenly written, uninspired
work lacking originality and freshness. You can easily give this one a miss
unless you are desperate to scare yourself, in which case I assure you, the
film will need a great deal of effort from your side to numb you off!
The film begins with a man walking up Hotel
Grandiose into Room No. 3046 and jumping off the building. The story swiftly
cuts to a nightclub where a bunch of friends are gulping down shots to bid
farewell to one of their closest buddies. News flashes show that the Hotel is
shutting down for good, and that’s when spooky stories about the haunted place
unspools to the gang!
The friends in a gusto of being foolhardy decide to
go check out the place. Like luck would have the property is indeed haunted by
a witch who wouldn’t stand anyone loitering around there. The friends are soon
pinned down by the paranormal intervention as each of them will have to pay for
entering the haunted land!
