7/10
Reasonably impressed

I notice some of our reviewers were not impressed with this film and complained that it was not a horror film. I guess their definition of "horror" is the cheap slashing films that are so hum hum in recent years. Or perhaps they miss the point of a psychological-suspense film.

Or perhaps they really didn't like an all-Indian cast. I enjoyed it, in part, for that very reason. There was a nice blend of Indian culture versus American culture here, and unlike some recent Indian films I have tried to watch, the enunciation of the actors was great.

Sarita Choudhury plays the mother very nicely, and Sunita Mani plays the daughter very well. You might have to get over Omar Maskati's slicked down haircut, but he's very good. And Bernard White (that name, really) was very good as the daughter's step father.

Is it the greatest psychological-suspense film I've ever watched? No. But it's good. Quite good. Take a chance.
