House Amazon Prime — Barot

Barot House is a flawed but fascinating watch—a film with a great first half, a stellar lead actor, and a bold concept that ultimately plays its hand too safely. It’s worth a quiet evening watch, just lower your expectations for the climax.

If you’re scrolling through Amazon Prime looking for a tight, unsettling Indian thriller that doesn’t rely on item songs or forced romance, Barot House initially feels like a hidden gem. Directed by Bugs Bhargava Krishna, this 2019 Hindi film takes the familiar "haunted house" setup and flips it into something more psychological—but does it stick the landing?
