Movie Review: Dobaara filmfare.com

Quick take: Tepid thriller with no real scares
Oculus was a strangely atmospheric and fairly unique horror film from 2013. The name was a play on eyes and illusion. The story was about a supernatural mirror that could create illusions on its victims and drain their life force by making them go insane. Director Prawaal Raman has remade this film but taken liberties with its screenplay. Where the original Hollywood film was smart in its setup, Dobaara: See Your Evil plays out like a witches, curses and revenge story. Where the original had some smartly conceived horror set pieces, Dobaara doesn’t manage to scare at all.
