Review of Raaz Reboot

Raaz Reboot (2016)
4/10
More Funny than Scary
16 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Raaz Reboot is the fourth installment in the Raaz franchise and i don't understand why it's called a reboot, or why it's even tagged as an horror movie.

The movie has laughable sequences throughout, like when possessed Shaina (Kriti) climbs up walls like spiderman. The movie tries real hard to scare you, but fails. The ghost, that is when Shaina's possessed, doesn't even look a bit of scary. In fact, Emraan Hashmi as a ghost is scarier than her.

Towards the end, the movie once again uses the age old tactics of questioning God's existence and using religious practices to ward off ghosts and evil spirits.

Fun fact : The makers wanted the film to be look as realistic as possible, and Emraan suggested Vikram Bhatt to shoot at the haunted Hoia Baciu Forest. But the forest was hardly used except for burial of Emraan's body and later unearthing it.

If you get scared quickly, then maybe you should watch this movie for some thrill. Otherwise, if you're a big fan of horror movies like The Conjuring, skip this.
