WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In Delhi, India, Usha (Choudhry) is thrilled when her adult daughter Pallavi (Mani) calls from New Orleans to tell her that she has entered into a relationship with a man named Sandeep (Maskati). However, Usha’s happiness is short-lived when she notices striking similarities between Sandeep and a terrifying figure from her own past, and soon becomes convinced that her daughter’s new boyfriend is a reincarnated evil force that has returned with a vengeance…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Producer Priyanka Chopra teams with fellow producer Jason Blum for a terrifying tale with an Indian flavouring, as part of a new collection of Blumhouse horrors released exclusively onto Amazon’s streaming service (be on the lookout for new additions in the forthcoming months).
