This movie is pretty damn good! I've been wanting to watch a good Hindi horror movie, and this is perfect. What's funny is that it has no star cast and has been shot off what seems like a pretty decent but cheap camera lens. It says that the movie had a budget of 40 lakhs.. It honestly does not seem like the movie has been made for more than 4 lakhs. Definitely a good movie though.. Reminded me of the Blair Witch Project. Couldn't post in parent's guide, so posting this here: It had one very mild kissing scene (you can't see any faces as the scene is in the dark). A lot of abusive language has been used, especially the f-word. If based on language only, I wouldn't want a child watching the movie. I wouldn't let a child watch the movie anyway because it's pretty scary. And not much has scared me. Ever. Kudos to the girl who plays Simran. Really well done role.

It was scary ! But the fact that camera filming makes it more fierce. A nice one with a good effort. Acting of some actors could be more better. Overalll a great try !

The movie has made good effort in making an original horror movie through a live action camera style. i am writing this review in year 2018 and since this movie there has been many other live action camera style movies in Bollywood/ Tollywood and yet very few has been able to impress as this one due to its originality of story-line and impressive performances by actors. In fact it can be considered a pioneer for the this particular style of horror movie making in India.

A movie based on some paranormal activity.

Great direction by the debut directors Yash Dave and Allyson Patel.

When i saw it for the first time i was sure i would watch again with my friends.

Question Mark is not an easy movie. It's not a movie that will ever play at a hundred multiplexes and draw large popcorn eating crowds.

But it's a fantastic movie, a sweaty, fever-dream of a movie, and it's wonderful that people are engaging with it. There is simply nothing like it in Hindi cinema - and like it or not, that is one thing I'm sure no one can argue with.

This is the true movie making, not like commercial movie making in which nothing beside cheap horror elements are found..... This movie seriously can scare you on each moment.... Must watch.

I'll tell you why I love Found Footage (FF) horrors over the normal horrors. First, in a normal horror film (like conjuring etc), you basically are an audience to whatever happens in the film. However, in a FF horror, you feel you are actually with the team ( or rather I would say you are in that situation) experiencing the horrors which makes it more realistic. Second, though horrors are imaginary stuff, FF styled horrors tend to meet imagination with realism. FF horrors are not for everyone. The shaky camera work might not impress all but I personally find it very realistic as you feel you are actually watching some real life footages rather than a film shot on sets. If you are new to FF horror, remember that shaky camera work is a characteristic and that the horror doesn't kick in immediately.

Now coming to this film, Bollywood till date has made many horror films but has rarely ventured into this area of horror, the FF horror. Horror is almost dead in bollywood and makers are trying to revive it every year by following the same old path of those 3rd person veiw horrors (like raaz, 1920 etc). Noone till date has tried to make a new FF horror which i feel is a genuinely interesting way of presenting a horror film.

QUESTION MARK tries to imitate the cult FF horror "Blair witch project " and it succeeds to a great extent. It follows the conventional FF horror path --> the first 35 mins are spent just showing what the group is doing and the remaining part involves the beginning of the sinister activities in the bungalow and as the film reaches the climax, things tend to become ugly.

Just like blair witch project, this film too has no visible ghosts so it heavily relies on creepy sounds and loud jumpscare noises to scare you. It works well! The tension that builds up to the jumpscares are good. Camera work towards the end gets super shaky but then it's OK, it's a characteristic of FF films to depict the person holding the camera is freaking out. Mind you , in a FF horror, you would always find the camera man with camera on no matter what happens and it is a characteristic. Overall, this film scores pretty well in the tension build up and horror sections.

What I didn't like is --> 1. It tends to drag towards the end. The editing of this film is not very crisp. Even at just 82 mins, I started telling " ok we had enough, now stop!" but no, it takes its own sweet time to end. 2. There is a a possession scene. Many might find it scary, many might find it hilarious. I found it to be the latter. It's way too overdone! 3. Night vision camera being used inside the bungalow at night I mean cmon , there are lights in that house, why don't you use them? Just to show it's night time, the camera man uses night vision even inside the bungalow.

Overall, I would say this a good attempt by Bollywood in the FF horror category although there are many foreign FF horrors that are much better than this (like Grave Encounters, BLAIRwitch project, REC, Hell House etc). As I said, very few, maybe 3-5 films have been made in thus category in Bollywood and I would love to see more . But then FF horrors really need good makers , I mean, really talented ones as FF horrors can go horribly wrong and cringy if not treated well. Thankfully, QUESTION MARK is not one of them.

This movie as a "Found footage film" is an amazing movie. Watching this movie for first time is seriously going to make you scared like anything. But later you will get used to it. If we talk about this movie's budget, then I must say it's a good movie in a budget of 40 lacs. Knowing the expenses of camera these days for shooting. Good job production team. Plot wise they went good with off course. You guys still need to work out on low light video shooting, which I feel is the great point of disappointment. Another good advantage of this movie is that it really encourages making of "Found footage Film" genre. Also it can be identified from this film that , few such films have been created which gives a slight glimpse of the ghost and still the movie makes you scared like anything.
