Netflix Indian Original Horror — Overview

Netflix Movies — Reviewed

🎬 Bulbbul (2020) — Hands down the best of the lot. Set in late 19th-century Bengal, this visually stunning supernatural film follows a young man who returns from abroad to find his childhood friend — now his sister-in-law — ruling their ancestral home with an eerie, unsettling power. The night sky glows red, whispers of a witch fill the woods, and a deeply feminist revenge narrative hums beneath every scene. Gorgeous, thought-provoking, and genuinely haunting.

🎬 Ghost Stories (2020) — An anthology horror from four of India’s most celebrated directors — Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banerjee, and Karan Johar. Akhtar’s story about a home health aide in a creepy apartment is the standout, while Banerjee’s darkly satirical tale about urban resource cannibalism (literally) will linger long after the credits roll.

🎬 Kaali Khuhi (2020) — A young girl visiting her sick grandmother in an ancestral village begins seeing ghosts — spirits seeking revenge for generations of female infanticide. More eerie and atmospheric than jump-scare driven, this one earns its chills through quiet dread and cultural weight. Not a comfortable watch, which is exactly the point.

The Series — Reviewed

📺 Ghoul (2018) — 3 Episodes — Netflix’s second-ever Indian Original and still one of its most underrated. Set in a near-future fascist India, Radhika Apte plays a soldier interrogating a notorious terrorist at a black site — until the terrifying truth about their prisoner emerges. With a total runtime of just over 2 hours, this Blumhouse-backed series is the perfect starting point for Indian horror on Netflix.

📺 Betaal (2020) — 4 Episodes — Also from Blumhouse (M3GAN, The Black Phone). A soldier accidentally revives a dormant zombie army of British colonial-era troops while displacing villagers for a road project. Violent, frenetic, and wildly entertaining — a zombie survival horror unlike anything else in Indian streaming.

📺 Typewriter (2019) — 5 Episodes — From the director of Jaane Jaan, this Goa-set ghost series follows a trio of kid ghost hunters investigating a haunted old typewriter in a creepy manor. When a new family moves in, their investigation turns urgent. Think Goosebumps meets genuine Indian gothic — genuinely fun.

📺 Aranyak (2021) — 8 Episodes — A moody, Twin Peaks-esque crime drama set in a remote mountain town. A teenage girl’s murder reopens old wounds — was it a serial killer from 19 years ago, or the mythical forest-dwelling “leopard man”? The closing scene alone is worth the watch.

📺 Tooth Pari (2023) — 8 Episodes — A quirky vampire romance that blends horror with heart. A vampire breaks a tooth and falls for the shy dentist who fixes her fang. It’s charming, strange, and surprisingly touching — perfect if you want horror with a lighter touch.
