Creature 3D movie review: Don't worry, it won't scare you at all
Two years after raaz 3, vikram bhatt once again has donned director's hat for a creature-based flick. of course there must be numerous thoughts going within his wits as to what new could be presented.
Stars- Bipasha Basu , Imran Abbas, Mukul Dev Director- Vikram Bhatt Music- Mithoon
So, here he got this world best idea of directing a creature-based flick, which is mostly seen in western cinema, and it couldn't have been an easy task considering it first of its kind in Bollywood which requires too much of technical aspect. And making it without a tangible being is never a cake walk for its actors too since they have to just visualize that this horrifying being is in front of them and they have to react accordingly. It doesn't matter if it's Bollywood or Hollywood, creature based flicks have always required a high level of technical support. And Creature 3D shows efforts of our Indian indigenous technicians but unfortunately it doesn't possesses the flair, which such flicks require.
Watching it in 3D doesn't make any difference, in fact this creature called ‘brahma-rakshasas' doesn't look horrifying enough, who is cursed by Lord Brahma (as shown in the film) and is let free onto this planet Earth.
It's found in the hilly terrains of Summer Hill where Ahana (Bipasha Basu), a young entrepreneur is up with her boutique hotel called ‘Glendale Forest Lodge'. Guests and couples love the new, warm and cosy settings until one day Glendale is hit by an unknown action. Despite the guests are slayed and disappeared, the others just remain clueless over who is behind it. But soon they come across this killer creature and decide to leave the place. Ahana's hotel gets a shut down notice but she decides to pull up her socks and face off the creature in order to save her hotel which was her dream.
A professor of Zoology, Professor Sadana (Mukul Dev) comes to help her since he is aware about this creature, while Kunal (Imran Abbas), one of his first guests and now her lover is too there to stand by her side. So, this army of three is up against this beast.
With due respect to the hard work put before by the technical department who visualized and finally gave the creature an essential horrendous shape through graphics and pictures, Creature 3D couldn't turn out to be a real creature drama and rather remains to be a caricature of such sorts.
You wouldn't get terrified by finally watching this gigantic creature but still get a sense of anxiety by the mystery created around it. Until the being is projected as a terrifying one, the flick sends a shiver down your spines because you paint a picture in your wits after those hints. But just when it is exposed before you, all your excitement is brought down.
The techniques of assassination by this living being too have a dreadful ambiance but only if the victim justifies it by the act since, as said earlier, they have to visualize the creature. Actors struggle to figure out the height and length of the long-tail creature. While one looks at a place, the other looks somewhere else. And we as an audience are left with no option except looking at the exit doors of theatres thereafter.
Another question that quip up in our mind is as to why every time the protagonist analyzing the danger surrounding, in spite of escaping the place is desperate to take that up as a challenge and fight back.
Sorry, but we would have only admired the courage had the antagonist not fought in a filmy way. While throughout, this creature in fraction of seconds just comes and goes hunting down its food in form of humans, his stay and fight patiently in the end is something, which we didn't understand. Also, despite knowing fire torches are a weapon against this creature, why the hell Bipasha forgets to use it in the end?
Vikram Bhatt isn't able to come out of the tried and tested Bollywood formulas for horror flicks and it's sad after watching his most memorable flicks like Raaz and 1920.
Performances however are something which are real. Bipasha Basu who among most of her movies is mostly witnessed in horror dramas has become a master in this genre. She displays that scare expression perfectly while her romance with Imran Abbas is good.
Imran Abbas on the other hand isn't bad at all. A character, which requires showing care towards his love mate and stand by her sight, is justified by Imran.
Zoology professor's character suits on Mukul Dev as he shows the required concern surrounding the people in the deadly area. We would love to see him in better roles.
I'll go with two stars for Creature 3D. This flick could be tolerable only if you are a die-hard fan of horror movies.

Movie review: Screenplay is the real monster in Creature 3D
Director vikram bhatt's latest movie creature 3d is about ahana (bipasha basu), who decides to open a forest resort in himachal pradesh. her life takes an unprecedented turn when she encounters a monster..
Creature 3D
Bipasha Basu, Imran Abbas, Mukul Dev, Deepraj Rana
Vikram Bhatt
The forests of Himachal Pradesh are not only about their scenic beauty as they are also supposed to take you back to your roots. And, I am not talking about any ordinary roots here. But, before dissecting a movie, which delivers what it promised in the promos, with our logical lenses, we need to take a small crash course in Hindu mythology.
There are spoilers ahead, so you're requested to come back to this article after watching the film. Thanks if you are still scrolling down.
Who becomes a Brahmarakshas?
Usually, a priest who used his knowledge for evil deeds were supposed to become Brahmarakshas. Their ultimate salvation was almost impossible.
The other version
Let me make it easy for the 90s kids. Brahmarakshas were also featured in DD shows like Vikram Aur Betaal and Panchtantra.
The Vikram Bhatt version
A cross between Dr Curt Connors (aka Lizard) and a Doberman. The mutated genes will then be put inside a room filled with chain smokers for many years. Finally the genes would be used to create a huge monster, with unique voice. It sounds like your neighbourhood Army captain is going through a rigorous gargle session. Anyway, let me not get as imaginative as Vikram Bhatt!
So, Ahana Dutt (Bipasha Basu) has to battle on several fronts in order to keep the demons of her life at bay. The land mafia of Mumbai pushes her father to commit suicide, and thus she comes to the dense hills of Himachal to open a new resort. Just when she thought that the new business will grant her the freedom to breathe easily, a guest gets killed. As usual, the local administration doesn't believe in any ghost stories, and thus the guests keep getting butchered. Nobody knows what to do until Professor Sadana (Mukul Dev) enters the frame, quite literally. Kunal (Imran Abbas), a guy with a dubious identity is also there, whose sole purpose in life is to drive an open jeep. Now, all these fighters are up against a creature which is ruthless, daring and emotive, at least more than the staff at Bipasha's resort. But, will Bipasha be able to chase away the monster from her land? Will she win the contest of her life?
As you figured out, the story of Creature 3D is as redundant as the role of the palace in Khooni Haveli. There is a reason behind the name of the film, and I think it's a noble gesture on part of the director to honestly put it in front of his audience that he doesn't know what exactly he has created. The moment a villager bursts out, "Wo aa gaya hai, ab wo kisi ko nahi chodega," you understand what to expect from it. The film follows a classic screenplay structure, of Indian ghost films, which means the beginning is also the end, of your mental peace and trust on Bollywood writers.
Most of Vikram Bhatt heroines have a breathing problem, they keep sighing heavily, but somehow Bipasha Basu has managed to look normal. The computer-generated-images were not there at the time of shooting, and the characters were supposed to rely on their imagination. Interestingly, every actor imagined the monster at different eye axis. So, for somebody it was 10 feet on the wall, and for another it was 8 feet on the wall. The audience were left on their own to figure out the exact position of the Brahmarakshasa.
Meanwhile, innuendo laden lines keep flowing. What's the point of having a young lead otherwise? Consider this one, "
Thodi der ke liye aapke hothon pe hansi lane ke liye maine apne hothon pe ungli rakh li
," or this one, "
Apne andar ke rakshas ko maarne ke liye iss brahmarakshasa ko maarna zaroori hai
." It's amazing to see how some really melodious tunes go unnoticed in the process! The songs act as soothing solutions.
The makers have a completely different take on suicides as one character very chirpily says, "Your urge to commit suicide is genetic." Another blurts, "Fantasy is nothing but a fact which is yet to be discovered." Some original views!
One can forgive Imran Abbas for forgetting that his hand is severely injured in the climax, but can you really forgive him for looking teary-eyed all the time. Mukul Dev is one good actor, please fetch him meaty roles. Same goes for Deepraj Rana, who is toned down just to give the other actors a sort of leverage on over-acting. Bipasha Basu tries her best to hold the film together, but a flawed script hampers her efforts. She is the most natural of the lot. It's not Bipasha's fault that the characters forget to use fire torches against the Brahmarakshasa despite knowing its advantages.
Yes, box-office is a different ball game altogether, and the audience will decide the film's fate, but failing to make a not-so-regressive film is the director's fault.
Watch Creature 3D only if you can't sleep without watching a monster movie. Creature 3D gets one for the film, and 0.5 extra for the VFX.
