Barun Rai and the House on the Cliff

Save yourself from this mess ,don't believe the fake reviews. What starts as John Constantine meets Haunting on hill house is boring ,painful and a complete waste of time.

I don't usually review on IMDb, but for this I had to, having seen the multiple 10 star user reviews outnumbering all the others on here.

It's obvious that the makers have put a lot of effort into this (mostly in post-production), but the film is a bit of a mess. The titular character doesn't feature all that much to warrant the title, and his gift (demonstrated at the beginning of the film) is conveniently ignored, which otherwise would make a 10 minute film.

There are some good ideas here, but they're not very well executed. The suspense and fear is missing, partly to do with the acting & direction, but more to do with the voice-work. Some character's voices sound like they have been dubbed entirely, so I spent a lot of the film disengaged because it was so jarring. Some characters, no matter where they were, seem to have the same vocal echo; be it a police station, beach head, cottage, etc.

Maybe in years to come I will be proven wrong and this will be a cult film - the silliness was intentional - but for now, a 10 star film it is not.

Cheap crew, cheap story line cheap cinematography cheap editing and the ghosts were so childish that my 2 year old laughed. I only went to see because it had 9.2 rating I did think it was too good to be true.

Someone must be using a bot for all of those 10/10 reviews. Is this filmed ala Bollywood? Or is someone a fan of the old Hammer House of Horror movies from the 70s? I Don't know, but they've created a bit of a mess. The acting is hammy, the use of studio dubbing for the dialogue is stupid, cuts from scene to scene, particularly in the first half, without rhyme or reason. A real throwback to the Hammer movies......but, and this may seem an odd question....... WHY???

If you have a ghost story to tell then tell it. No need for the rest of this nonsense. As for the hint at the end titles that a follow up is on the way....for the love of God - NO, thank you.

Incredibly inept ghost story, which is all over the place.the pacing and scenes rarely make sense. Its still enjoyable.for all its stupidity and its worth watching for that alone. It will be difficult to find a worse film this year, but I do recommend it for people to use it as a baseline to do their best and worst films of the year.
