Love that horror movies are delving more into lore from other cultures

I'm from India ...I too have heard stories of pisach from my father on how grandmother and her friends confronted one of them. It is spooky cause they lived in village at 1970s and and the village ghost stories with Pir baba and witchcraft were really happening. I'm already excited for this film, glad to see the producers investing in stories of India.

To me, this movie seems like a brilliant metaphor for depression. Makes me wonder if depression was what was referred to as a ‘pisasch’ in our culture…the fact that it isolates you and eats you alive are all signs of depression

Love the concept of pisachi. It's what use to refer to the influence of Addiction, depression, uncontrollable feelings of rage. This is exactly what it's like. Really look forward to the movie because it emphasizes the horror it takes to live with it and the bravery it takes to fight it. Most importantly no therapist or exorcist can help. Its your fight and you need to win or die trying.

India has so much mythology about monsters and ghouls, so good to see someone's adapting them in Hollywood.

The basic storyline reminds me a little bit of "Drag Me to Hell," where a powerful demon known as the Lamia tortures some unfortunate soul for three days before dragging him or her to hell. This looks a little more deep and scary than that though.

This looks amazingggg. The Caribbean has a lot of folklore too; soucouyant, lagahoo, la diablesse and douens. I'd love to see a proper horror movie based on one of them.

There needs to be a movement in film that doesn't rely on blasting music and sound effects in order to get a scare. When that happens, it will truly be the dawn of a new era in horror.

So proud of Megan, she deserves more recognition!

As a Hindu, this one has all the feels! Looks amazing!

As a horror fan tired of the just okay films we've gotten recently, this looks amazing and is such a breath of fresh air and a great take on other cultures which is something I've wanted for a while

An American horror film about Indian Culture and it has an Indian director? HELL YEAH!!!!! SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!

*Pishachas (Sanskrit: पिशाच, Piśāca)* are flesh-eating *(Nephesh: "Soul:" "People", "Person", "Being" or "Creature" and/or "the life with in them")* demons in *Dharmic religions,* appearing in *Buddhist* and *Hindu* mythologies. *A pishacha* is a malevolent being that has often been referred to as the very manifestation of evil. *The Mahabharata* states that the original *pischaca* was the *creation of Brahma.* The epic offers various interpretations of the being, including its residence in *the court of Kubera* or *Brahma* and worshipping the deities of its residence, and its worship of *Shiva* and *Parvati.* *The Pichachas* are described as having fought on the side of *Ghatotkacha* against Karna. But they are also said to have served *the Kauravas,* acting as the horses of the *chariot of Alambusha.* Other legends describe them as the sons of either *Krodha (figuratively "Anger")* or as *Dakṣa’s daughter Pischcha.* They have been described as having *bulging veins* and *protruding red eyes.* They are believed to have their own languages, known as *Paiśāci.* According to one legend, they are sons of Kashyapa and Krodhavasa, one of the daughters of Prajapati Daksha. *The Nilamata Purana* of the *7th century says the valley of Kashmir was inhabited by two tribes: *the Nagas* and *the Pisachas.* *Pischchas* like darkness and traditionally are depicted as haunting cremation grounds along with other monsters like *bhutas* and *vetālas.* *Pischchas* are supposed to possess the ability to shapeshift and assume any form at will, and may also become invisible. They also feed on human energy. Sometimes, they possess human beings and alter their thoughts, and the victims are afflicted with a variety of maladies and abnormalities like insanity. Certain mantras are supposed to cure such afflicted persons and drive away the pischcha possessing that particular human being. In order to keep the pischcha away, they are given their share of offerings during certain religious functions and festivals. *Pāṇini,* in his *Aṣṭādhyāyi,* described the pischcha as a *"warrior clan."* In the ancient literature, *the Dardic people* in the north of *Kashmir* were referred to as *Pischcha* and *Dardic* languages were called *Paiśāci.* They are said to have been descendants of *Prajāpati Kaśyapa. (Wikipedia)* They seem to me to be *DEMONS,* former *Angels* who rebelled against God and have been thrown to the vicinity of the Earth until the day of judgement and execution. However, you have to give them an opening for them to harass you, like seeing this movie. Have fun lol!

Finally neeru bajwa has made it to hollywood and her presence make it much relatable to indian culture. Not some other nri who has never been to India and never followed its culture could have act convincingly this role which requires faith towards own indian culture. As neeru has done so many films here she knows it very well. All the best to the team. Finally hollywood has took some Indian mythology in its film.

FINALLY!! some good horror again! there has never been anything more haunting than the work of an aggressive demon in film, and for too long now I’ve been craving to see it. insidious, though it seems so silly nowadays, was perfect in its time. and the content of the paranormal activity movies-revolving around what a demon can and will do to mess with or harm you-were great depictions of that too. of course, the exorcist is a classic, and hereditary is one of my favorite movies of all time (though much different). but every time, demon movies just win. ugh, I can’t wait to be scared of the dark again LOL. and I never thought I’d say that. looking forward to it!!

Horror movies these days are beginning to derive inspiration from other cultures all around the world. Somehow we appreciate the fact that it's getting the acknowledgement it rightfully deserves.

Horror goes into interesting places when it deals with different cultures

FINALLY! A horror movie to look forward to, the sound design and Cinematography are insane!

Just saw this, this weekend! It was amazing! It one of the best horror film I’ve seen in a while

Excellent trailer. Never show the "monster." Always tease it. Always make us want it more. Bravo to the editor. ❤

This is the year for the horror genre based movies, I think so. It's going to be a mass treat for the horror fans in the big screen, can't able to wait to see this in the theatres. Please give the announcement update of this movie early as much as possible

Us Horror Fans eating GOOOD this year!! Love to see it

A movie based on India's culture seems really interesting. It's nice to see something from other cultures. Hope the movie does it justice. Will be watching this one for sure

As someone who love all things horror and is never fazed my horror movies, the one thing that scares me more than anything is glowing eyes with a dark silhouette. “Lights out” comes to mind. And I don’t mean like animal eyes reflecting in the dark, I mean unnatural glowing eyes.

God this looks so good! Giving me It Follows vibes. Only know Megan Suri from Never Have I Ever, glad she's getting more work.

"Bhoot Pisach nikat nhi aawe Mahavir jab naam sunaaye." Jai Bajarangbali 🙏🙏

This is by Bishal Dutt from Assam, India. Proud of him.

I just saw this last night! I LOVED it! It was a creepy movie for sure! It was so REFRESHING to see a horror film from another culture like this. I felt so immersed in their culture so idk it was creepy seeing the horror from their point of view

NEON always 🔥

I’m getting drenched with blessings as a horror fan

Neeru bajwa in the house ladies nd gentlemen. The Indian Bollywood/Punjabi actress. Applause for you mam.

Finally we been waiting for. An indian horror mythology with hollywood vfx.👌👌

This year is officially the new Golden Age of Horror

Interesting to see that foreign directors are looking into Indian folklore

Interesting concept. I've listened to a lot of myths and cryptid stories from around the world and India has quite a few freaky folk tales and entities that could adapt for really frightening horror stories. We don't usually hear about horror movies with an Indian background so this has potential

As an indian I confirm that pisach is real. My grandmother told me many story about pisach, maya, jadu tona ( black magic ), and jinn.🗿🗿

Pollywood Queen Neeru Bajwa 🔥👏

Me: going to the park with my parents as a kid My parents:turned away for half a second Me: 2:03

Eastern based horror lore deserves SO MUCH more rep. I am beyond excited for thissss. I remember hearing stories of this as a kid.

Excellent work Neeru Bajwa😊from Bhuchomandi,Punjab India 🎉🎉 Great achievement

Wow, this looks incredible!!! It's been a VERY VERY long time since a trailer has had me on edge. This certainly did that! 👀

This is what I live for as a movie fan.

It's amazing to see people crafting stories on Indian Mythology and lore, definitely a huge basket of information and creativity. Looking forward to see this.

Absolutely excellent movie. Finally somebody that can make a horror movie thumbs up 8/10

Glad she is in a movie after a series... "Never have I ever" thought... But You go girl!!!!

Got some "It Follows" vibes from a couple scenes. Lots of other unique scenes in here, looks great!

gotta say that visual of the boyfriend bouncing around like a puppet really freaked me out. looks like a really cool movie!

I need a movie series that dives into mythological horror from different cultures. I’d want them all to be set in the same universe but different time periods?

Oh wow! This looks fresh seen from an Indian perspective of horror! Cinema is definitely opening up to the horrors of all cultures. Big up!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Damn the thing that was inside the closet reminds me that time I was searching for my dog in backyard around 2:00 am. I thought I saw my dog inside bushes near the shed but no it was strange shadow looking at me with glowing eyes just like the thing in the closet. The reason I knew it wasn't my dog because I got near the bushes nothing was there.

I love that there is an exploration of another culture, finally! It was entertaining, not the best movie, but decent.

When we were kids even my mom used to tell me a story, not of demons but of Lord Hanuman, Krishna, Shiva, Bhagath sing, etc... Appreciate the effort they put in because it's not easy to make a movie about Indian culture and systems without proper understanding. Be it Bhoot, Preta, Pishaci, Rakshasa Or Asura Hanuman got us covered. If anyone is in any kind of problem just ask him with true devotion he'll be there.

It's been a decade since a horror movie has given goose bumps

Next to A24, NEON is one of my favorite film distributors, they put out quality content consistently, if at the very least intriguing/interesting. Especially when it comes to thrillers/horror. Also the eyes in the closet genuinely creeped me out, reminds me of being a kid and thinking you see something in your closet or not, and subtle. Going to close my closet door now, thanks.

That opening gate and pulling hairs was amazing 😮😮

This year has been amazing with horror films. I love elevated horror. Not just jumpscares, but an underline story of grief with creepy as music and visionary. Hereditary was the start for me with these movies. I was mainly a slasher fan. Can’t wait for Thanksgiving to come out.

That soundtrack is so fire 🔥

Another movie im expecting to watch. 🎉

My mum's side of the family is from Gujarat and even this gave me chills, thinking how this demon exists in mythology. I thought it was brilliant how they have incorporated mythology into films though it scares me to think about.

holy hell, this looks amazing. the sound design with the spooky clicking sent shivers up my spine

As a horror fan it is already a great year and it will be greatest too..... Thanks to apply our Indian origin ghost 'Pisach'❤

Cant wait to watch it!! Looks good 🎉🎉

I love they're still riding the Get Out train

Dude…the horror genre is just stepping it up lately and I am so. here. for. it.

This gives me all the vibes of early 2000s horror with a cultural spin and some Hereditary-style editing. I can't wait.

watching this trailer in the night with the windows open is adrenaline.

I'm glad these possession films are starting to look more like psychological horror rather than just the exorcism. I'm gonna be comparing this to Talk to Me very hard when it comes out though because for me; that film is my new peak for possession horror.

This has Get Out's social commentary theme in it

Movie looks nice and quiet unique too.. Great performances with some Indian elements... looks interesting 😊

so happy to see a movie go elsewhere w/ the horror. ever culture has its own horror. I love seeing it

Has anyone noticed the real horror is the fact that our attention span as humans declined so bad that they need to show us a catchy mini trailer before starting the actual trailer just to get our attention and make us watch the entire video...

FINALLY , a good looking new horror film. I can’t wait

I love that we're getting more horror from other cultures, a treasure trove of folklore

Thrilled to watch this one! Neeru Bajwa rocks.

Truly amazing and shocking, on how everyone of us in our religion and culture have some thing bad to deal with. Can’t wait to see it 👍👍👍👍

This gives me Lights Out with that scene at the end, and it also gives It Follows. Meeehhh.

This DEFINITELY look good. Another horror movie that I need to see 👊🏿

Looks good! ''Pisach' could also have been a great title!

My country have so many stories, passing from generations to generations waiting to be told by such a big platform as Hollywood.

Thank you Bishal Dutta Da(Director ) for making this type of Horror movie in Hollywood. An Assamese boy making fantastic, marvelous, outstanding, super hit movie in Hollywood,, Love form Assam, India..We are all proud of you Bro..Keep up the good work.. we always support you..

Bruh this looks so good

WOW it looks really good movie.

Definitely going on my "must watch" list!

Why dislikes? This looks much better than Insidious the red door

That got all my attention.

Oh hell yeah finally a horror that's going to get me on the edge of my seat and get me to go sea a therapist afterwards... I think I need to book 1 now after that trailer. Goosebumps 🙌🏾.

Bhoot Pishaaz Nikat Nahi Aabe Mahaveer jab Naam Sunabe 🚩🚩 Jaye Shree Ram 🙏

Oh looks amazing i like when in the movie or in the trailer say the movie name...and this make it very good 🤩📸

This horror movie is the only horror movie I trust that is gonna deliver the “horror”. All these scary movies that have been releasing these past few years have been shit and are never scary at all but this movie definitely gives “lights out” vibes so I know it’s gonna be good.

I had goosebumps.. that's really good editing with key factors for a horror movie. My hopes are high for the movie now. All the best for the movie..👍🏻

Have seen this style in short horror films which has the potential for a full movie. This should be a genre on its own.

this is definitely giving it follows and I’m here for it🎉🎉

Looks absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Can't wait to watch this on the big screen!!

Looks like this will be the horror movie to see!! Can’t wait🔥🔥🔥

Okay, the trailer alone creeped me out. A must see. How appropriate that the suspense drags on by not revealing a release date.

My dads friend made this movie I’m so happy to see how well it’s doing

India's first western type horror film introducing Hindu demons I am honored to be indian 😊🕉️🇮🇳

This year is definitely the best year for horror genre after so long time

So now we're diving into Indian folklore.. Well, that's interesting, can't wait for this 1

Like I said before, we need more great horror movies with refreshing ideas. This one looks promising.
