      Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express The film forgets a basic axiom: what you cannot see is far more scary. Ragini MMS borrows its voyeuristic thread , and a face too heavily from previous Ektaa production Love Sex Aur Dhoka, and goes about showing us too much. Rated: 2/5 Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Not so scary.. but the visual effect is on par with hollywood! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member One line summary: Blair Witch meets Paranormal Activity done badly with Indian actors. --------------------------- Uday and Ragini go on a trip to enjoy each other's company at a secluded house. Uday records some of this with his handheld. At the house they stay at, there were many cameras, so much of the movie does not suffer from Uday's shaky hands. The MMS is for Multimedia Messaging Service, which allows for multimedia content to be sent over a variety of devices. This would allow for online sex escapades and the like. As in many USA/UK horror films of recent vintage, way too many frames of the movie are of rooms where nothing is moving; perhaps with sound, perhaps not. Uday handcuffs Ragini to a bed; they start intimate activities, but paranormal influences put them off before they get anywhere. Uday cannot find the key to the cuffs. Nice. Ragini sees the cameras, and is displeased with Uday. A voice from somewhere repeats 'I am not a witch,' 'I did not kill my children,' and 'This is my house.' There is a long interval of Ragini, alone, suffering, trynig to figure out how to get free of the cuffs and the bed. Ragini finally gets loose about the time that two other people are about to open up the house. She never connects with the two men; she has trouble flagging down the infrequent vehicles on a nearby road. Toward the end, the witch drags Ragini back to the house, but somehow does not manage to kill her. This makes no particular sense given the ease at which it dispatched the men. ------Scores------- Cinematography: 4/10 Web cam quality at best; hand-held unsupervised at worst. Sound: 7/10 Better than the video. Acting: 5/10 Kainaz Motivala was fairly good; everyone else was rather bad. Screenplay: 2/10 In 93 minutes I experienced about 30 minutes of irritation (the hand-held camera part), and 63 minutes of boredom from the web-cam segments. 'The medium is the message' is all too true here. I did not see much storytelling done. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this film with terrible subtitles, but ti was still a relatively entertaining piece of found-fotoage horror cinema. Essentially a Hindi rip-off of Paranormal Activity, Ragini MMS also incorporates moments taken from Saw and the Blair Witch Project. By no means original and boring at times, it still manages to feature a few genuinely creepy moments in the latter half of the film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Ok, India isn't known for horror films, but this was surprisingly good. An old school cautionary tale that, by it's own admission, has inspiration in other films and events (think Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity, The Ring, etc and the real life Indian MMS scandal). Nonetheless, it delivers some great scares, good visuals, and a story that does carry it for the full 1.5 hours. Worth seeing, would like to see more foreign horror like this one! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Bollywood's take on Paranormal Activity ... !! Sex and horror combined to give a formula for box office success ... Gotta say ... the movie was interesting in bits, and scary in pieces ... decent job to the makers ... !! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member If you enjoyed playing Fatal Frame, then you'll like this movie! Be mindful of what you see in the camera. :D Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
