'Bhoot The Haunted Ship' movie review: Not a scarefest, but pretty engaging
The film brings horror back on the Bollywood screen, and the overall production design of the film aimed at delivering a sense of unease and fear.
"The most challenging and exciting aspect of 'Bhoot' was the ship. So getting the ship to look and feel authentic was The key," production head Aditya Kanwar told IANS.
"We spent a lot of time on research, referencing and scouting real ships to get the right vibe. Anybody who hasn't worked or been on a cargo ship does not know what it's like to experience the enormous size and the claustrophobia. I wanted everyone who saw this film to actually feel like they are present and trapped there," he added.
