Movie Reviews

Apaharan (2005)

A bright spark amidst the deluge of low brow comedies

Ayyaash (1976)

Rampaging serial rapist finally comes acropper in this formula drivel

Andaaz (2003)

Pandering to the lowest common denominator this is mere formula fodder

Albela (2001)

rather uninspired piffle, nothing too offensive - just very uninteresting

Allah Rakha (1986)

Rip roaring MKD style concoction is an unsung classic of the 80s

Alarm (1978)

Vendetta, mayhem, blood feuds, sirens, action...the usual masala and more!

8MM (1999)

Aks (2001)

The Gita meets The Devil’s Advocate in another case of style of matter

The Vault of Horror (1973)

More typical Amicus style comic book inspired tales of the macabre – more miss than hit this time around.

Piranha 3D (2010)

Ajnabee (2002)

Bollywood reworking of Consenting Adults...Wife swapping - Shock! Horror!

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

the kind of movie that gives mindless entertainment a good name

Aitraaz (2004)

Yet another local take on Hollywood material - strangely compelling though

Andheri Raaton Mein (2001)

Shades of Lipstick at first, then a crusade against police corruption. dull, nasty stuff.

Halloween (2018)

Myers is back and Laurie Strode awaits.  Lots of Nods, Winks and Nudges to the 1978 original to delight the faithful and yet…

Dead and Buried (1981)

Sleepy fishing village has inhabitants who just wont stay dead!

Dark Harvest (2004)

Dante's Peak (1997)

Twister's success spawned an even more wretched lot of disaster flicks....

Aashiq (2001)

A piece of mindbogglingly horrendous dirge from Indra Kumar the creator of Dil

Darkness Falls (2003)

dying hag curses sleepy town and returns later as the murderous Tooth Fairy

Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage (2002)

dreadful piece of romantic rubbish has no redeeming features

Aapko Pahle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai (2003)

disastrous misfire cant decide what it wants to be - a total wipeout!

Aankhen (2002)

an exciting if improbable thriller - flawed but stylish and entertaining

Aan (2004)

Much style and action to try and camouflage the films many weaknesses

Daman (2001)

Marital rape drama won the National Award for Raveena amidst huge uproar

The House On Haunted Hill (1959)

Campy family spookfest

Frankenstein Created Woman (1967)

Fourth in Hammer's Frankenstein series is an interesting but misguided effort.

Vaada (2005)

Synopsis: Potentially gripping thriller goes horribly awry (again!)

The Vanishing (Spoorloos) (1988)

Superlative, gripping and ultimately shocking psychological shocker. DON'T WATCH THE U.S. REMAKE !!

Jaws IV - The Revenge (1987)

A quite amazingly stupid film... hilariously awful

Qayamat (2003)

Bollywood does the Bruckheimer thing - loud, mindless, orgy of violence

Khushi (2003)

Dreadful ham-fisted attempt at "charming comedy" - is anything but charming!

Madhoshi (2004)

A deliriously absurd but fun roller coaster ride full of amazing plot twists

Ilsa Wicked Warden (1977)

a fake rip-off serenading as an Ilsa due to Dyanne Thorne's presence

Goldmember (2002)

Third instalment of 60's 70's spoof has long run out of gas and charm

Targets (1968)

Superb thriller - All-American blue-eyed boy "snaps" with murderous results
