Interesting concept but I hope they don't rely too much on jump scares. Indian horror needs more atmospheric storytelling like the article mentions. Will give it a shot!

While the premise sounds good, I'm a bit concerned about the runtime. 8 episodes seems long for a horror series - hope they maintain the tension throughout without filler content.

Horror series set in hostels always have so much potential. The location itself is creepy! Hope they make good use of the setting. Will definitely binge this over the weekend.
