Just like Ramsays in the 80's and early 90's were the pioneers in the horror genre, similarly Vikram Bhatt is creating his niche in this genre, well now with technology like VFX and 3D Format. But after watching "Creature" I felt that Vikram Bhatt has not really grown after his major hit in this genre "Raaz" in 2001. The tag line of the movie says "Fear has a New Face", well unfortunately Vikram offers nothing new to accentuate the fear other than the VFX created monster. "Creature" tells the story of Ahana (Bipasha Basu) who purchases a property in a hill station Glendale in Himachal and starts a Boutique hotel. Things go awfully awry when her guests start getting attacked by a monster or Bhramha Rakshash. How the damsel in distress fights against the monster forms the crux of the story. Story by Vikram Bhatt himself and screenplay by him and Sukhmani Sadana has nothing new. It is clichéd and the first half takes enough time to build up, with sub plots of Ahana's father and his suicide and the not so happening love story of Ahana and Kunal (Imran Abbas) which basically wastes a lot of screen time in songs and the mythological twist of Bhramha Rakshah almost kills the movie and what we get is a half baked VFX driven bland script. Some sequences in the movie instead of making your jump from the seat, makes you laugh. Overall the writing has immense flaws and too dated. The dialogues by Girish Dhamija is so outdated that you feel you are watching a movie from the 90's, some dialogues are unintentionally funny like when the Kunal tells Ahana referring to bank officials as vultures, Ahana replies she is not dead yet. The narration by Vikram Bhatt is sluggish and looks dated and in many sequences you are reminded of "Raaz", Vikram Bhatt's blockbuster of 2001 which was 13 years back. I think Vikram needs to re-invent his style. Performances by the cast also do not help. Bipasha Basu who plays Ahana has a perpetual frown on her face throughout the movie and looks confused. Bipasha repeats her "Raaz" act again but she forgot that "Raaz" was 13 years back and times have changed, overall she gives a below average performance. Debutant Pakistani actor Imran Abbas as Kunal is least impressive and has only one expression for all the scenes whether it was Romantic, Sad or Fearful. Mukul Dev as Professor Sadana sleep walks through his portrayal, cannot blame him as the character was written half baked. Rests of the cast are equally unimpressive. Music by Mithoon has no soul and the choreography by Raju Khan is extremely mediocre. It is only the VFX generated monster which looks like a amalgamation of Hollywood creatures from Aliens, Predator and Jurrassic Park, is impressive. "Creature" could have been India's answer to "Predator", but alas the outcome is too bland and mediocre, even the 3D format could not salvage a weak script and sluggish narration.

My take on "Creature 3d Movie" Upon being spotted 'the creature' successfully bewildered our innocent Bipasha Basu and the other rookie actor, (Whatsisname?), sparing the viewers from the much awaited "Mega surprise". The first impression is that the director got successful in genetically modifying the Lizard of 'the amazing Spiderman fame' to grow mustaches or maybe the retro creature might have picked up the 'Desi Tadka' during its Indian Safari. Viewers were highly disappointed with the epic failures encountered during the movie such as - Creature shares some common genes with the stray dogs as it charged instinctively at every moving vehicle. - Creature was humiliated by Bips by slam shutting the door on its face at least 7-8 times. The hope was still alive but when our rookie actor learned the trick then it was devastating. - During the face off with Bips-Rookie Duo the creature runs at 3 km/hr that Bips or even the rookie actor manages to outperform the low- life anytime of the day (that too on foot). - Dial Maneka Gandhi ! The creature was manhandled!!!… The rookie actor amazed the viewers with his driving skills by tossing the creature in air mercilessly upon impact with his car. - Mukul Dev in a desperate attempt to intrigue the viewers by tagging the creature as "Brahma Rakshas" helped the viewers to lose their faith further. -Either the creature had a peculiar taste or he had some stomach issues because he never consumed the full body. Maybe the creature wanted to be recognized as a 'serial killer' by leaving a trail of rotten body part of its victims. - The limited Vocab rendered the creature dyslexic that often he screamed "Waaah" or "Woooooow" upon catching the sight of Food. - Finally the creature died upon receiving the sacred bullets dipped in the holy water of "Pushkar", discharging from the "double barrel" rifle in command of Bips. The double barrel gun surprisingly needed to be reloaded only once before the final shot after firing 6 bullets in vain. It made us feel that the creature was keen to end his life upon watching the mayhem created by the Bips-Rookie Duo that he decided to fake his own death. Final Verdict – Common house Gecko lizard is still the undisputed king in the Horror Genre.
