1920: The dull and silly horror film Horrors of the Heart

The highly anticipated horror film, “Horrors of the Heart,” has disappointed audiences with its lackluster execution and shallow storyline, earning criticism as a dull and silly addition to the genre of its time.

Released amidst great anticipation, “Horrors of the Heart” promised to captivate viewers with its thrilling premise and spine-chilling moments. However, as the film unfolded, audiences were left underwhelmed and unimpressed by its lack of genuine scares and weak character development.

The plot, centered around a haunted mansion and a cursed family, failed to live up to its potential. The film relied heavily on clichéd jump scares and predictable twists, leaving little room for originality or genuine suspense. As a result, the overall impact of the horror elements was diminished, and the film struggled to evoke a sense of fear or unease.

One of the primary criticisms of “Horrors of the Heart” was its weak screenplay and lack of substantial character development. The characters often fell into stereotypical horror movie archetypes, making their actions and reactions predictable and lacking depth. This resulted in a disconnect between the audience and the characters, hindering their ability to emotionally invest in the story.

Furthermore, the film’s execution and special effects fell short of expectations, contributing to its overall lackluster reception. The visuals and practical effects, considered important components in horror films, failed to create a truly immersive and terrifying experience, further detracting from the film’s impact.

Despite its shortcomings, “Horrors of the Heart” did manage to secure a dedicated fan base among enthusiasts of the horror genre. Some viewers appreciated the film’s nostalgic charm and embraced its unintentional comedic elements, finding entertainment value in its silliness.

Critics, however, unanimously agreed that “Horrors of the Heart” fell short of delivering the genuine chills and thrills expected from a horror film. The general consensus among reviewers was that the film lacked the necessary depth, originality, and technical finesse to leave a lasting impression.

As the year 1920 continues to witness the evolution of cinema and the horror genre, “Horrors of the Heart” stands as a reminder of the challenges faced by filmmakers in creating captivating and genuinely terrifying experiences for audiences. It highlights the importance of strong storytelling, well-developed characters, and effective execution in delivering a memorable horror film.

While “Horrors of the Heart” may have failed to make a significant impact in the realm of horror cinema, it serves as a stepping stone for future filmmakers to learn from its shortcomings and strive for innovation, creativity, and artistic excellence in the pursuit of terrifying audiences in the years to come.

Pushpa 2 The Rule advance booking tracking better than RRR, Jawan in the US; crosses .4 million with 10 days to go

Pushpa 2 The Rule has already crossed $1.4 million in advance bookings in North America even though the release is 10 days away.

Allu Arjun‘s Pushpa 2: The Rule is still nine days from its theatrical release but is already breaking box office records. The film is set for a grand release worldwide, and if its US pre-sales are any indication, it will likely get a bumper opening. The film is already tracking better than blockbusters like RRR and Jawan in the US.

Pushpa 2’s US tsunami

On Monday, trade tracker Venky Box Office shared the film’s advance booking collections for its US premiere. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the trade analyst tweeted, “#Pushpa2TheRule USA Premiere Advance Sales: $1,383,949 – 900 Locations – 3420 Shows – 50008 Tickets Sold.”

By Sunday evening, Pushpa 2 had sold over 50,000 tickets in the US, with the release 10 days away. The tweet added that North American advance booking collections had crossed $1.458 million (around ₹12 crore), ‘which is a record’.

Trade analysts say that the film is set to cross $1.5 million with nine days to go, which means it is outpacing SS Rajamouli’s RRR and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan, the two biggest Indian movies in the US in recent times. Both films grossed over $15 million each in North America and are among the top five highest-grossing Indian films in the continent. Pushpa 2 is matching the pace of Shah Rukh’s other 2023 blockbuster, Pathaan, and is just behind the all-time record holder for India in the US – Baahubali 2 (which earned $20 million in the territory).

All about Pushpa 2: The Rise

Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rise is the sequel to the director’s 2021 pan-India hit Pushpa: The Rise. It brings back Allu Arjun as the titular anti-hero, alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Fassil. The film, touted to be one of the biggest Indian productions ever, is set to hit the screens on December 5.
