A couple try to protect their dark past and secrets in order to save themselves from future.

Jack: So it turns out the trailer we linked was in Hindi (I think?) and had no subtitles. Good work, us. But it’s okay, because it had that one part where it said first he’ll turn black and then he’ll die in English. Got it. Also I’m pretty sure the rest of it said something like: “I thought I had it all figured out” [dramatic music note] “But some things . . . are beyond comprehension.” [Dunh dunh!]. Apart from being dark and washed out, likely to correct for some less than stellar effects, this looks pretty spooky, assuming I can either get a copy with subtitles or learn Hindi.

Jake: I’m not familiar with Vikram Bhatt or the Indian horror scene in general, but I’m struggling with the look here. Everything in this movie is shot/lit in such a strange way. Sets feel like sets in a stage production. I’d also like to throw out that the concept of 1921 happening a decade after 1920 is creating some crazy cognitive dissonance for me. That being said, I’m all for more genre entries coming in from all corners of the globe. I just don’t know if this is going to be much to write home about.

Mark: If this is a prequel to 1922 then I want no part of it. Doesn’t this guy know I can’t speak un-american? He should talk to me in a different language instead. In more realistic criticism, this looks overdramatic, but I actually really like the idea that I think they are going for? Is this house haunted by the ghosts of soldiers who died on a nearby battlefield? Is it also haunted by the villain from Lights Out? Is it also haunted by Cupid, because those two smoldering protagonists seem smitten. If this movie has subtitles (unlike the freaking trailer) I would be wholly okay with watching this.
