Review : Raaz Reboot – A Romance and Horror Reloaded Movie
Raaz Reboot is the fourth installment of the Raaz Series. It doesn’t make any sense to context any its just another typical type of Vikram Bhatt’s movie. You’ll see the windows opening by themselves, creaking doors, dark secrets and yes CGI crows. Some of the horror scenes will make you laugh. Raaz series definately needs a reboot but this film is not a answer for that.

Review
This time, the movie is shot in there land of dracula, Romania. Vikram Bhatt has chosen deep, dark forests and other exotic locales of the country as the setting of this horror film. Location itself makes the scenes scary.
However, it is down to the cast, the script and the chill factor, which decides if a horror film will work with the audience. And it is there that Raaz Reboot stumbles and fumbles.
Rating : 2.5 / 5
