There are two types of films that stay with you long after you have finished watching them. The first is the kind that wows you because of its sheer genius and the second is, well, the kind that leaves you astounded with the director's audacity to churn out such a preposterous film. Ghost, of course, falls under the second category.u00a0

A still from the movie 'Ghost'

Debut director Pooja Jatinder Bedi attempts to make a horror film with all serious intentions. However, instead of my knees shivering in fright, my tummy was aching with all that laughter that she had induced in the process. Wrong shot, ma'am.

The film opens with Doctor Saxena (Deepraj Rana) making out with a Japanese nurse inside the washroom of a hospital. Soon as the doctor leaves, the ghost (bad make-up, worse hairstyle, horrible acting) catches hold of the nurse. And then in the guise of the nurse, does an item number wearing a red negligee to woo the doctor before killing him and gruesomely yanking his heart out of his chest. You want to know more? Sigh.
