<strong>Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover's horror flick is disappointing!</strong><br/> Scary is sexy but sadly Ms Basu doesn't live to up to her favourite phrase. No, I am not saying she doesn't look hot in the film, she does, but I went in thinking she would scare the hell out of me. And that just didn't happen. Read the full review of Alone below...

What's Good: The use of all possible creepy elements such as wooden doors that make noises, swing and an overall horrific location. Interestingly, Bhushan Patel manages to infuse a good amount of suspense in the film and stretches it to the very climax even though one starts getting the hints quite early on. The visual effects are quite decent and it seems Patel is getting the hang of it with every film.

The horrex (horror - sex) genre has been picking up steam of late with multiple films catering to this segment. Bhushan Patel, whose earlier tryst with the genre RAGINI MMS 2 proved to be pretty intriguing, returns with yet another film in the same genre with ALONE. While the film is a remake of a Thai film by the same name, ALONE is the story of Sanjana (Bipasha Basu) who is forced to return to Kerala with her husband Kabir (Karan Singh Grover) after her mother meets with an accident. When Sanjana, the survivor between conjoined twins comes home after years, she is thrown face first into her old life which is both painful and haunting.

A besotted wife, an over-busy husband, and a dark secret is bundled up and transported to a sprawling house in the Kerala backwaters. A locked outhouse opens one stormy night, and then.. The ingredients for a horror film are all there, but 'Alone' very quickly becomes a tussle between the scenes that want you to be scared and the sequences where you are supposed to slurp at all the eye candy: both the lead players are made to show acres of skin. In the face of smooth bare backs, and the rippling pecs and packs, what's a poor ghost to do?

<strong>Alone is better left that way</strong><br/> Alone is as good as a B-grade film, featuring several sequences that are very corny, says Paloma Sharma. The case in point today, ladies and gents, is a most unusual one. This pale-faced, pale-eyed being has been popping up on telly and cinema hall screens for a while now. Let's have a look at her file, shall we? Common Name: Bhoot, Sanjana, Anjana, Bipasha, Woh.

<strong>Bipasha Basu brings to you the best comedy of the year</strong><br/> Sanjana (Bipasha Basu) is hot and unemployed - the first is a fact, the latter an assumption given how frequently she irons her hair in a day so that her hair remains poker straight and silky at any and every moment in her day - has perennially red cheekbones, and married. A few minutes into Alone, Sanjana's husband Kabir (Karan Singh Grover) has sung her a song, fed her a cake in colours matching her white dress and red lips and we realise why Sanjana's standard expression is so, well, constipated. The woman misses her husband, who is obviously working hard to pay for rent, cake et al. A potentially relationship-changing conversation between the couple is cut short when a phone call informs them that Sanjana's mother has had a bimaari that has left her speechless and paralysed neck down.
