Dybbuk Review
Emraan Hashmi has worked in the horror genre before in Raaz: The Mystery Continues, Raaz 3, Raaz Reboot, and Ek Thi Daayan. He knows how to bring emotions to this kind of movie. He lives the character of Sam Issac. Nikita Dutta was good in the role of Mahi. But the chemistry between Emraan Hashmi and Nikita Dutta is below par. Manav Kaul as Marcus is superb. Gaurav Sharma as Inspector Riaz had a small role, but he has created an impact. The movie is slow-paced, similar to other horror movies. The second half is interesting.
Director Jay Krishnan tried his best to adapt the story and direction similar to the original. However, Dybbuk is not much scary, and the horror lacks good spooks. The movie has no songs. If you are looking for some good horror, Dybbuk will not scare you much and disappoint you. If you have not watched Ezra, you can watch it once for some good performances of star casts and not for horror. We give 2.5 stars out of 5.
