Ghost Stories just dropped on Netflix and so are its reviews. Reuniting Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee, for the third time, the anthology to the earlier successful movies Bombay Talkies and Lust Stories and promised an exhilarating journey with multicast stars that comprised of Janhvi Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur, Sobhita Dhulipala, Gulshan Devaiah, Surekha Sikri and Vijay Varma is a disappointing start, sadly, going by Twitter reviews.
The horror flick set in a remote village with sick grandma in a damp hospital, grotesque zombies, ombre setup to up the horror genre does little to match fans expectation as compared to the hype. Calling it ‘disappointing’ and ‘wastage of time’, tweeple has little sympayhy for the mutli-starred movie.
Check out some of the twitter reactions here:
#GhostStories on #Netflix is a waste. It is the silliest piece of work created by some of the so-called finest directors of Indian Cinema. ‘Ghost Stories’ is horrible, not horrifying. pic.twitter.com/Y5PNSnKqA3
