Dybbuk: The Curse Is Real

If youve seen the Malayalam film Ezra, youll get nothing new here. Just some better stills in few frames. Story is identical. Even if not be a frame by frame copy, the differences are negligible.

If not, you could go for it as an above average horror / possession movie. Some good visuals, worth a single watch for horror genre fans.

But if i wanted to see it, there was already one to watch, Producers, if you are investing why not try something with its own identity or at least give the audience something new or different? Here only the cast is unique.

I saw this on Amazon Prime without watching the trailer or reading anything bah it. Was surprised to see a billboard poster of it few nights back. In fact i was angry that this movie wasn't promoted well. There were no trailers popping on YouTube or any thing related to this movie running on tv channels.

The Possession (2012) dealt with the similar topic but i found the movie boring n very mild.

This movie doesn't waste any time with the unnecessary Bollywood cliches n thankfully there aint any songs.

The first kill is an offscreen one but very brutal.

There is one very atmosphere scene ala dreamlike n surrealistic where Emraan Hashmi follows his wife.

There is a scary n brutal scene inside Moshe's house when the Rabbi enters for the book.

Few flaws : A pregnant female is allowed to witness exorcism dealing with scary faces.

When the Rabbi breaks open the door of Moshe's house to enter, it was crystal clear that nobody was outside or inside but later suddenly a man pops outta nowhere and that too inside the house and tells the Rabbi that he shouldn't be here.

In one scene the Rabbi ask the wife to step out during exorcism n she obliges n moves out but in the next scene she is standing once again in the same room where exorcism is happening and that too next to a guy who is involved in exorcism.

Generous with a 8 cos of Hashmi n the dreamlike sequence n the twist.

Just finished watching this movie. There is nothing new about any scary movie. This was an interesting story, about a possessed ghost wanting to destroy the whole town for wrongdoing.

Acting is good, emraan sir is amazing as always with his expression and just being himself. Others characters were good in their own ways. It weird to not have any songs cause Emraan movies always have no songs but sadly not this time :( Overall, this is a decent scary movie with some jumpy scene and story.

One time watch is what I say just for Emraan sir :)

Imran Hashmi looked like he reluctantly agreed to do this film. He was disinterested throughout the film and that transferred to the audience. The supporting cast were incompetent in their respective roles. I gave 4* for the intermittent special effects that's all. The movie overall was disappointing.

There is lack of horror in the movie, you can easily sleep after watching this movie. Story line is nice but not capable to provide horror. Emraan's horror movies are known for it's good sound tracks but there are no soundtracks in the movie.

If you love horror movies then may be you don't find anything much in this movie.
