Loved this unique venture in Indian cinema. I started watching the movie with very less expectation as it with almost every Indian horror/thriller movie. But this went beyond expectation. The cinematography, the character building, the execution of story, acting everything is sheer class. I see many here who doesn't even has the taste for these kind of movies giving bad ratings. For them I can only say one thing that you all deserve those bogus saas-bahu content.

INTENSE.

It shows some dark secrets of society that was never covered. I was stunned by the violence. I feel that raising issues and expressing messages through films is a very good thing, of course, with guidance, because not everyone is able to filter information properly.
A rare quality slasher from India
Jithindurden26 February 2022
It's rare to see a slasher thriller that is this grounded especially in Indian films. The actors looked like real people and spoke in multiple languages instead of all of them speaking Hindi like how it would be in a state like Maharashtra that it kept taking me out of the film because how much Bollywood has been faking with its perfect Hindi for so long. The fact that this is based on a true story is not so much of a surprise nowadays if we follow the national news but it's still gruesome and despicable.
A well executed Indian take on TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE!
sanjidparvez13 November 2020
Pretty good. Somewhat reminded me of Tobe Hooper's 1978 horror classic THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE but little less gritty or raw and without any chainsaw or machete wielding maniacs.
Liked the way they didn't try to right away rip off TCM, instead built a disturbing, yet relatable, well executed horror film that includes contexts like patriarchy, child abuse & dysfunctional family dynamics with Indian settings & characters.
A fresh concept in Indian Cinema.

This movie is slasher & psychological horror. This according to me is totally a fresh concept untouched by Bollywood. This movie in afraid to showcase the reality. The type of feminism and dirty patriarchal society shown in the movie is tremendous. This must be watched.

THRILLING FOR SURE

Thrills, Chills & Few Kills...

Warning: Spoilers
Kudos to director for a brave attempt to showcase Dark side of society.
Story is not so fresh we have seen similar concepts in Hollywood but what stands out in This social thriller is domestic violence against women & child shown in gripping manner.
The dialogues used to convey message/describe violence in protagonists lives seems bit forced/unnatural. More light on villains mentality could have made it much better film. Lets find Dead body scene in middle was stupidity 😢 Nevertheless its a nice attempt & deserves applause.

when a tiktoker writes a plot you get this trash
tegrazero19 December 2020
It's crazy how trash is getting increased everywhere after tiktok got banned. it was a dustbin for humanity but looks like director escaped that trashbin and thought they can litter internet by joining other platforms and pushing a mindless plot.
waste of TIME. SKIP

The two women are dumb
jakegylly13 December 2021
There were too many ways they can escape but simply to drag the movie they were coming back to that house or else it should have ended at the beginning only...they could have ran away with scooty even though there was rain because it was day time.
Scary
subeer20097 November 2020

Thriller?
swatibajaj-015708 November 2020
Why will anybody go back to a place that has evil
vibes without any preparation? Illogical script. This illogical-ity crops every now and then. Watched movie in fast forward mode. Realised that it was too brutal and left a bad taste in my mouth.
This is Insane
roshanisarockstar7 November 2020
If you don't know the real story. Then this movie is our of box for you... Based on real story. This movie contains lot of suspense... In the beginning I thought you'd movie is horror movie but it is not. Just wanna say must watch and learn something.
Winner of the dumbest character development contest
eerymithun25 December 2020
I am giving this 2 because the camera work and background music are moderately good. And the good ends there. The movie does not attempt to explain why most of the dumb characters do what they do. The dialogue are unrealistic as are the actions of the characters. Rather than making the audience feel sympathetic for the protagonists, somehow the director managed to make us hate them with their unparallel level of dumbness.
I would recommend watching this movie to form your benchmark for the dumbest movie possible (hopefully).

Incredible attempt to showcase this genre in India..
saikatsamanta19 April 2023
Two Schoolteachers go to an isolated house for census and what they encounter there is a Woman's worst nightmare. Based on a true story, this cabin thriller boasts of terrific performances and a riveting screenplay that is harrowing to watch for the viewers. Its strictly not for family and women will find it really difficult to sit through this. The theme of Women's horrifying subjugation at the hands of men is the core of the film. The cinematography is amazing for a film of this scale. But bad editing, some visual choices for budgetary reasons and excessive use of background score stops it from becoming a truly great film.
Utter waste movie.

Dark, Eeire, Bold, Disturbing yet Brilliant !!
madhukar309 December 2020
Though I am not a big fan of slasher flicks, Welcome Home really impressed me in many ways. There may be hundreds of such movies in Hollywood like this but only a handful movies are like this back home, and Welcome Home definitely is among the top 5 in that genre. The disclaimer at the teaser made me giggle, thinking that it is a marketing ploy, but this movie definitely needs one as it is definitely not for the light/Kind hearted. Lots of things add up since it's based on true events.
Screenplay and pacing was great to get us into the groove of the storyline. The director's ace storytelling leaves us on the edge of the seat for a good part of the first hour. Production design, makeup and costumes was excellent. Music and editing though generally good were a little patchy in a few places. Cinematography was very decent. Acting levels were surprisingly good by the two female leads throughout the movie. One has to really appreciate the producers to put money on such a subject, in a country like India.
Overall, a gritty and eerie movie throughout, which springs up surprises time and again. Yes, it is riddled with some logical loopholes, but which slasher movie isn't? Need thrills and frills watch this movie with volume turned up in a dimly lit room late night, the sound alone will do a lot of things in our heads. Not suitable for family viewing or for young viewers. For maximum effect better watch it late night with full sound. 6.8/10 stars.
