The time has come for a Bollywood B-movie to enter our modest shockproof selection and it happens to be the most iconic work of Ramsay Brothers – the pioneers of Indian horror cinema and independent filmmaking on a shoe-string budget. At first glance Veerana is a horror film about a girl possessed by a bloodsucking witch who seduces unsuspecting men in the dead of night. Well, it is more of a deranged yet highly alluring cascade of vampire legends, soft erotica, gore effects, musical numbers, action sequences, fits of demonic possession, awkward comedy and overwhelming family drama that does not seem to stop. Get ready to be flooded out by this Indian blockbuster and a cult classic of the VHS era in a newly restored 2K version.
