All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

Raaz (2002)

AKA: Secret

Starring: Bipasha Basu
Director: Vikram Bhatt

Premise:
The spirit of a man's mistress wants revenge and seeks it by trying to destroy his wife

My Take:
The movie has some decent twists and an interesting story. But for a lot of people who aren't familiar with a Bollywood film it will be hard to get through due to the 2.5 hour run time, numerous musical number, and the loads of melodrama. If one goes into it knowing those details and not expecting scares then one might enjoy watching it.

Rating: In the middle
