What is it?
Bhoot Part one: The Haunted Ship is a Bollywood supernatural horror film about a deserted container ship that strands on a Mumbai beach. Customs officer Prithvi discovers that the ship is haunted by Meera, a girl who has been stuck on the ship for 11 years and is possessed by a tormented spirit. With the help of his friends, Professor Joshi and agent Riaz, Prithvi must find out what the spirit wants before the ship is towed out to sea.
What to expect
The film is a slick, well-paced supernatural horror, which creates a low-level atmosphere of fear and a sympathetic hero. While none of the horror-violence is gratuitous or gory, the consistent use of sound to enhance jump scares and the imagery of possession mean that the film is not suitable for young children, especially in a cinematic setting with surround sound. More importantly, it is the scenes of domestic violence, implied torture and a bloody murder, while brief, are likely to shock and disturb younger audiences.
