Khatarnaak Manzil (2024)

Synopsis

Set in the remote village of Jinpura, the movie begins with a mysterious event in which an unknown malevolent force annihilates the entire village population. The survivors, a few individuals who were not present during the incident, live with the haunting memories. The government’s attempts to investigate the strange happenings are futile, leading to Jinpura being labeled a forbidden area.

The plot takes a familiar turn when seven friends, along with their professor’s wife, decide to visit the cursed village. Against their professor’s warnings, they embark on a journey to uncover the truth, even as the professor himself remains hesitant. As the group ventures deeper into Jinpura, they unknowingly set themselves on a path that leads to terrifying discoveries. The movie builds suspense with its creepy setting, as the villagers’ mysterious disappearance hangs over the protagonists.

However, the film falls into the trap of clichés typical in horror-thrillers, with predictable moments and a slow pace that drains the tension. Despite some interesting moments, the execution of key scenes feels formulaic and lacks the shock value that should come with such a premise.
