Creature is a story about Ahana who opens a new hotel in a forest area.But soon things starts to change immediately as guests as well as staffs of hotel starts getting killed.An ancient creature has woken up from his deep slumber and starts to hunt humans for his never ending hunger.Who is the creature and what will Ahana do to stop the creature forms the rest of the story.Overall the plot is paper-thin,predictable and full of plot holes.The simple story could have been packed into 90 min but has been stretched into 120+ mins which feels irritating.The screenplay is too lousy.The 1st half is totally unbearable.At the starting of the 2nd half you expect that the film might pick up from here.But it soon falls into ditch and you feel grossly disappointed. The creature of the movie was too bad and unoriginal.It has been created from copying of various movie creatures like Lizard of The amazing spider man and Aliens of District 9.It is so bad that you will laugh on him instead of being scared of. Acting was terrible.Everyone overacted here.Bipasha was too bad and unconvincing.Fawad looks good but is very bad in acting.Rest of the star cast was also bad. Direction was very weak.Dialogues were horrible.The only saving grace of the movie was its music which was surprisingly good.Visuals were average. It is good to see that they have tried to show something different from routine horror films but missed it completely.It was supposed to be a horror movie but it never scares you.Not even for a moment.An epic failure...... 2 out of 10 is too much.
Well Well, so we finally have what we all were waiting for and as usual again saw that an Indian Horror Movie didn't perform up to the mark we were expecting.To begin with the sound tracks were awesome and did help to give a make up to the movie but i didn't mean the movie was worse.As an Indian perspective view i believe it is a watchable one.the story might not have the power to hold on the audiences but it is still watchable unlike what the critics said.no doubt the movie could have been way better and as a horror movie fan i was expecting or hoping for something big which didn't happen Again but still i will recommend all of you guys to go and watch it and judge it as well but yeah don't go with a lot of expectations!!!!!!

Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.8/5 starsVikram Bhatt is like the Zen of the Bollywood's horror movies, what with him having delivered sleeper horror hits such as "Raaz", "1920", and "Haunted" over the years. Nobody even comes close to the rate at which he churns out one horror film after another in the mainstream demographic of the Indian film industry; more importantly these films are loved by most in the audience and even manage to strike a chord with quite a few critics. I, for one, feel that Bhatt consistently does a good job as a horror filmmaker and is well- equipped with all the nitty-gritty aspects of the genre. While his films might not stack up there with their more esteemed Hollywood or Asian counterparts, they certainly are leagues ahead of most gory kitsch emerging from Hollywood these days, masquerading in the guise of horror. Here he takes a shot at a completely new premise in mainstream Bollywood - the monster sub-genre of horror. Does "Creature" stack up there with some of Bhatt's best features? Let's find out!The film is set in a picturesque, serene, hilly town of Himachal Pradesh (though most of the scenes were actually shot in Ooty). The gorgeous Ahana (Bipasha Basu) opens a new hotel in proximity to a forest area – declared relatively safe by the local forest dept. - seeing it as a conducive business venture and also because she wants to leave her troubles in Mumbai far behind and wishes to start afresh. Guests being to troop in large numbers, and business seems to be heading in the right direction. But, trouble arises when the guests and some of the hotel's staff start disappearing one by one, and minuscule remnants of their dismembered bodies are found thereafter. The chief forest officer – a truly revolting and insensitive fellow - flippantly declares the deaths as an attack by a man-eating leopard or panther, which should be easily dealt with sooner or later, but as per his convenience. But Ahana, with the aid of a deputy forest official and one of the hotel's guests senses that there's more to the story – something truly evil lurking deep in the forest, which humans can't comprehend, and when the creature makes its presence felt in full view, there's no more denying the facts. Later aided by a scholar on the subject, we come to know that the said creature is called a "Brahmarakshaks" – a diabolical mythical monster awakened after geographical alterations to the region, with an insatiable appetite to devour anything that breathes.By now, Vikram Bhatt is heralded as the master of horror among his fans, and not without reason. While he might not be in the league of a Wes Craven, or Dario Argento, or even a Jonn Carpenter, as far as Bollywood movies go, he's certainly head and shoulder above anyone else taking a crack at the genre, and could even find a place among today's foreign Directors dabbling in the genre. He knows how to scare you and more often than not, his recent films do hit the mark (with the exceptions of "Dangerous Ishq" and the over-hyped "Raaz 3D") with "Creature" being no different.As co-writer, Bhatt, along with Sukhmani Sadana, imbibes the script with genuinely scary scenes and tense moments. If only they had done away with some of the unnecessary romantic bits, or at least had kept them to a bare minimum, the film would have been crisper and even more satisfying. As Director, Bhatt smartly plays with his atmospherics, locations, and camera angles to get the tone and scare elements of the movie just right. Cinematographer, Pravin Bhatt, is in sync with his son's vision, and effective uses his lighting to go well with the film's atmosphere and environment. The production design by Jayant Deshmuk and background score by Raju Rao also help elevate the mood of the film, while Kuldip K. Mehan's editing is decent. Devobrat Chaliha and Abhijeet V. Sapre's sound designing is top-notch and lends the creature with an imposing aura. The visual effects and CGI work done on the creature is also mighty impressive considering the minuscule budget; comparisons with big-budgeted or even moderately budgeted Hollywood or Asian films would be grossly unfair. The music for a Vikram Bhatt movie is once again pretty good, with "Sawan Aaya" being instantly hummable.Coming to the cast, Bipasha Basu is the star attraction here and her presence is felt in every scene she's in. The film rests squarely on her shoulders and she delivers big time, further wedging her position as Indian cinema's official "scream queen". Imran Abbas possesses questionable acting dexterity, and barely manages to hold his own in front of his experienced co-star. His and Basu's chemistry is also a major let down, which is why the film could have done with lesser screen time dedicated to their romantic angle. Deepraj Rana and Mukul Dev play stereotypical roles (not that we're complaining, even the most loved horror films can't avoid certain clichés and stereotypes) and put in effectual performances. Another standout in the cast is Bikramjeet Kanwarpal, who's perhaps the only actor besides Basu who leaves his mark on proceedings. He's almost a chameleon, barely recognizable, as the repugnant, inconsiderate head of the forest dept.This is mainstream Indian cinema's first foray into the monster sub- genre of horror, and Bhatt delivers big time, considering the constraints he had to work with. Bipasha shines in her role and the visual effects and CGI for the monster are a winner. "Creature" is an exciting monster-horror film with enough scares and tense moments to keep the audience hooked till the very end, even if it's a tad uneven in certain portions.
Poor movie, I usually don't write reviews but decided to write one just because the whole movie is so disgusting. Most of the events cant be justified as they're all quite senseless Horror is scarce throughout the entire film. Links are also meaningless, often clashing and the scenes are mostly repetitive. Overall the movie is hardly near anything one might want to watch. Length seems to be really stretched and its a two hour torture. Cannot believe how someone is supposed to watch such an awful chain of fails and to also pay for the crap. I voted this two just because the 3D visuals just might deserve a peek but not enough to keep you in your seat for that long time. A big no no to the creature.
