Horror films need not have a new story: Ram Gopal Varma

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 12 Oktober 2012 | 21.44

The premise of 'Bhoot Returns' is a child sensing a supernatural activity which grown-ups do not understand, something we have seen in many horror films. The film's director Ram Gopal Varma says horror films need not have an original story.

The film is already being said to be inspired by other scary flicks and Varma says it is not necessary for such films to have an original concept in order to scare the audience.

"I don't think horror films should have a new story. In Amityville Horror, there were a series of films with the same story but different set up. Fear is a basic emotion, it is not related to the plot. In fact, if you put a new story and original plot it can be counter-productive," Varma told .

'Bhoot Returns' revolves around a girl, about five or six years old, who feels that there is an entity in the house, but her family members do not believer her.

"You don't know if the entity is there or she is imagining it. The whole eerie feeling comes from the fact that the family doesn't know what the girl is seeing," said Varma.

Hollywood films like 'The Ring', 'The Sixth Sense' and even Varma's own 'Vaastu Shastra' (2004) have used a child as a catalyst for horror. The director says fear is most effective when it comes from unexpected quarters.

"Horror is most effective when it comes from unexpected quarters. A scary looking person would be a very obvious tool. But a cute, innocent kid scares you more because you don't expect it. Even beautiful women have been used. In the black and white films earlier, there were these women wearing a white saree and singing in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar."
