Cast: Luke Kenny, Kirti Kulhari Direction: Devaki Singh and Luke KennyGenre: HorrorDuration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Story: A photographer turns into a zombie after he gets bitten mysteriously.
Movie Review: Passionate about his craft, wildlife photographer Neil Parker (Luke Kenny) disappears into deep forests without revealing his whereabouts to indulge in his favourite activity of clicking pictures. Annoyed by his taking off randomly, his girlfriend Vinni ( Kirti Kulhari) walks out on him. Saddened, he tries to find solace in nature and sets off for Lansdowne, Uttarakhand. Lonely in the forest, he gets bitten mysteriously. The 'bite' transforms him into a zombie.
If it wasn't for the film's super-sluggish pace, abstract and ineffective build-up, it had the potential to be different. An attempt is made to keep the feel and mood a tad imaginative by going low on dialogues and activities, but that only evokes boredom. 30 minutes into the movie and you're still waiting for the zombie to make an entry. The film has been shot in a documentary-drama style which disappoints as the treatment doesn't work, given the genre. There is no 'thrill' element at all, an absolute necessity here. The 'silent nothingness' goes on forever.
The film becomes a gore-fest, once the zombie starts munching on human and animal flesh. Though bloodshed is what you expect from this movie, and it provides it in abundance, nowhere does it manage to truly scare you. It grosses you out.
