Clichés we get to see in the trailer of Bhoot: The Haunted Ship

The much-awaited trailer of Vicky Kaushal starrer Bhoot: The Haunted Ship has been released today. The trailer is intriguing but fails to scare us. The makers have been stating that their movie is the first of its kind horror film in India.

However, we cannot ignore that the trailer of the film has many clichés that we have been watching in Bollywood horror movies from the past many years.


A kid’s toy

From dolls to soft toys, we have watched many horror films where a kid’s toy plays a pivotal part in the narrative. Here also we get to see a doll in the trailer and the doll was shown in one of the posters as well.

A family-emotional angle

We have seen many horror and thriller films where the lead actor investigating the whole case has a sad story behind him. In Bhoot: The Haunted Ship, Vicky plays the role of a surveying officer and looks like he has lost his family.

A mirror scene

A horror movie is incomplete without a 'ghost in the mirror' scene. We have seen many movies where the lead actor or actress is looking in the mirror and the ghost appears in the mirror. Well, that scene is also there in Bhoot.

A ghost behind you

In most of the horror films, it is shown that an actor feels that there’s someone behind him but when he turns there’s no one. Then the ghost changes the direction and is exactly standing behind the actor. Well, there are multiple such scenes in the trailer of Bhoot: The Haunted Ship.

A couple will always reach a haunted place

This is one of the most clichéd things we have seen in Bollywood horror films. Most of the horror films showcase that a couple reaches the haunted place and then they die. In the trailer here, they have shown that a couple goes inside the ship and we know what’s going to happen next.

Brad Pitt’s upcoming Formula One film, titled F1, owes much of its realism and racing soul to none other than seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. According to director Joseph Kosinski, the film wouldn’t exist in its current form without Hamilton’s hands-on involvement, from the first pitch to the final details.

Kosinski, best known for Top Gun: Maverick, shared that Hamilton was the first person he contacted when the project was just an idea. An email led to a partnership, and Hamilton came on board not only as an executive producer but as a consultant whose lived experience shaped everything from the screenplay to on-track movements.
