review CREATURE : With CREATURE, Vikram Bhatt has tried to redefine horror, in his very trademark style. He leaves no stone unturned to keep the mercury rising within the specified runtime of the film. While on one hand, the film offers its share of horror, on the other, theres a synchronized drama that runs parallel in the story. CREATURE starts off with Ahana (Bipasha Basu), playing the owner of a palatial garden resort by the name of Glendale Hotel, which is situated right in the middle of the forest. The USP of this resort lies in the fact that it lies right in the middle of a forest and offers a beautiful experience. This, combined with Ahanas warm and hospitable nature, forms the driving force for its customers who gather for the hotels grand launch. Since the band which was to perform at the launch gets delayed, Bipasha Basu mistakes the guitar yielding Kunal (Imran Abbas) to be a band member and tells him to perform, a genuine mistake that later leads to friendship followed by love between the two. The celebrations come to a sudden standstill when the hotel staff and guests go missing one by one. The situation becomes further tensed when their amputated body parts are found by the cops. All this causes panic and unrest amongst the hotel guests. Despite the repeated pleas and requests, the local police refuses to investigate in detail and declares it to be the work of a wild animal like a lion or a cheetah. Thats when Professor Sadana (Mukul Dev) enters and takes charge of the situation. He then explains the concept of this creature to be that of a Brahmraakshas, a topic which he has been researching about. He also states that these creatures are a resultant of a curse by the Gods. Do Ahana and gang become successful in getting rid of the creature and what exactly is Kunals identity and the purpose of his visit to Glendale is what forms the rest of the story. Even though, it will be a bit unfair to compare the films techniques to that of the west, still, one can applaud Vikram for at least having tried to match up to those standards. One can very easily say that the visuals effects are by far the best in Bollywood and add to the thrilling experience. As far as the direction is concerned, Vikram Bhatt leaves no stone unturned to scare the audience with this film. The 3D experience which Vikram has created, makes you feel the fear. He has walked that extra mile to ensure there are no technical glitches, something in which he largely succeeds. The editing (Kuldeep Mehan) and cinematography (Praveen Bhatt) is top rate as expected, Abbas Ali Moghuls actions seems to falter at places. Girish Dhamijas dialogues could have been sharper. The multi-talented Vikram Bhatt exhibits his exemplary screenplay along with Sukhmani Sadana. Fear definitely has a new face. If you want to get spooked and that too in 3D then, CREATURE surely wouldnt let you down. 4/5
