Pizza, the remake of the Tamil supernatural thriller Pizza (2012), gets it right on some counts. If you haven't watched the original or are clueless about the plotline, chances are you may be sucked in its world, but the loose ends -- despite an unforeseen twist towards the closing stages -- cannot be ignored. While Hollywood is obsessed with the genre, it's been a while since Bollywood came up with a 'believable' horror/psychological thriller, which actually gives you the creeps. Barring a few classics like RGV's Bhoot, Kaun and the comparatively recent 13B, the genre stays untapped here. In fact, most Hindi horror films make you laugh with tacky special effects and unintentional humour. On the whole, PIZZA scares and startles in parts. A condensed, watertight screenplay in the latter half was much desired to create a hammer-strong impact. Yet, the film has its moments!
