Long-running horror franchises are either defined by their reinvention or lack thereof. To watch the series in order is to witness a distinct evolution. From Bride of Chucky onwards, the series moves away from the familiar trappings of 80s slasher cinema into a much more distinctly queer text.
Starring Rajit Kapur as Debu, Munisha Koirala as Juhi, and Sanjay Naval as Kaku, Deepti Naval's directorial debut was an attempt at alternate cinema enchanted with unconventional themes and unsettling portrayals of queerness, desire, and family.Â
