Get ready for & # 39; Ghoul & # 39;

Netflix is ​​preparing to launch its second original series from India

Hot on the heels of its first original Indian series, Sacred Games Netflix released the band -announcement of Ghoul . The three-part miniseries Radhika Apte is supported by Blumhouse Productions, while the horror giants continue their foray into television.

The trailer sees Apte as a soldier with a troubled family life. A list of her military braces is read before it is revealed that she helped her father's arrest. His interrogation quickly takes a dark turn, while the trailer turns into a more typical horror trailer style. A series of hopping changes lead to a last jump alert, revealing that something is really wrong here.

The trailer gives very little and does not really seem to come out of the horror tropes. However, the given synopsis presents some more intriguing ideas:

"Creators of" Insidious "," Get Out "and" Udta Punjab "- & # 39; – & # 39; "Ghoul" is a frightening series of a prisoner who arrives at a distance military interrogation center and turns the tables on his interrogators, exposing their most shameful secrets. </ P> <p> You can fight the demons of this world but what about those who are not? "

Now, that sounds a lot more interesting, given family ties. After all, the use of horror to convey family turmoil has produced fantastic movies in recent years. And while Ghoul seems to aim for something wider than the The Babadook and Hereditary it is a concept that has proven extremely effective.

What also distinguishes the series is the fact that it is the first Indian horror production of Netflix. The streaming service has made efforts to set up a wide variety of projects around the world, even though they still have some way to go. But the fact that they are trying to make India's distinct voices heard by Western audiences is worth celebrating.

Many Western moviegoers are still turning to Bollywood musicals when they think of Indian cinema, even if offers. Something Netflix is ​​in a fantastic position to highlight. In a world where they continue to dominate the worlds of film and television, it's good to see Netflix offer greater diversity in the content that they broadcast. And in many ways, the kind of horror is the best way to enlighten people. Something as simple as a fear of jumping or a scary image can frighten you, no matter what language is spoken. There is something universal, a quality that few other genres possess.

Although they still produce a lot of medium-budget horror movies, Blumhouse has also sought to break out of their comfort zone from time to time. Get Out showed a willingness to highlight the urgent problems of race. And get their hands on the franchise Halloween shows that they are ready to compete with the kingship of horror. Even with non-horror projects, success has been found. Whiplash got considerable attention in rewards and, although it's only one episode, the Sharp objects of HBO have already captivated the audience. The fact that they also seek to put themselves behind the horror of other parts of the world is commendable.
