‘Aatma’ is not the quintessential horror film as it was expected to be. It's not about a haunted house or a tormented spirit thirsting for vengeance. It has layers. It has supernatural elements. It tackles an abusive relationship. It's about a strong emotional bonding between a mother and child. Primarily, it's the fight between a woman and her dead husband over their child. An interesting concept without doubt, but what comes across on screen is such an anticlimax! Its biggest shortcoming is, it incorporates a lot of shocks in the narrative, but no real surprises. Yet another inadequate aspect is its resolution, which, ideally, should've been the highpoint. Even the pacing is too slow for a psychological thriller. All in all, ‘Aatma’ stands on a weak script and there are hardly any scares here. Can be given a miss as it is really disappointing!
