1920- Evil Returns

1920 Evil Returns was an interesting film for me to watch as it had a whole different take on the classic Horror genre, the way that 1920 confronted love in the film is different to how other horrors confront horrors for example in "The Woman In Black" the main character has lost his wife so seeks out the ghost to prove to him self that there is a life after death. but in 1920 the connection of love seams to run deeper into the life blood of the film, and this is a key convention of Bollywood films and is one of the big contrasts between a Bollywood and Hollywood films, in 1920 the male and female are in a hotel room but rather than having sex the male character walks away, i don't want to say that Hollywood films are all about sex but i feel that if that if two characters in Hollywood film had ended up in a hotel room together the same level of restraint may not have been kept.

1920 is a Horror and keeps to the same conventions as you would expect from a horror; dark lighting, jumpy sounds and a stalking camera. but the film is also a romance and keeps to the conventions of a romance; damsel in distress and something keeping them apart, 1920 keeps to the conventions and narrative of a Bollywood film; love story, poetry and strong family bonds, 1920 also attracted some well known actors such as Aftab Shivdasani.

The technology used in the film is good but i feel that a little more resistant could be shown i have to say that in comparison to some other Bollywood films that they are starting to understand that a film is not merely measured  number of effects. and this shows that they are getting better but i still feel that 1920 did some times use effects in times that were just not needed.
