A suspense-horror film shot entirely in UK, Victoria Ek Rahasya is about a young couple, Akshay Kulkarni (Siddharth)& Sonalee Kulkarni ( Ankita) who are vacationing in the UK and are invited by a relative Pushkar Jog ( Adhiraj) to stay at his Hotel - Hotel Victoria.
The hotel is at a remote location and soon the vacationing couple find Adhiraj's behaviour creepy. Ankita too senses an outworldly presence in the place.
Is Adhiraj hiding some dark secrets or is it just Ankita's mind playing tricks on her.
The film is a slow burn with the dull UK weather adding to the eerie ambience. The cinematography is awesome and outdoor scenes have been shot very well. There are a few jumpscare moments shot indoors - decently executed.
Afficianado's of the horror genre might find the first half slow as there are periods where nothing seems to happen. However the last 30 mins are quite engaging as the mystery is unraveled , a bit too abruptly i felt. There is a nice twist in the end as the film ends on a logical note.
If you've watched Lappa Chhapi, that was awesome & creepy as hell !! This one, though not as good, is a decent one-time watch.
I'll go with 3/5 for this one.. adios 🙂!!
