There are many who scoff at the horror films churned out by the Ramsay brothers in the 1980s and 1990s. They argue they were technically lousy and most of the time they make you laugh rather than scare you.
That is not true. I went into a cinema theatre in 1979 apprehensively to watch Darwaza. It is considered to be one of the best Ramsay movies. I was not wrong. The movie was scary. Watch the video.
Unfortunately, the Ramsay brothers did not keep up with the times and innovate. Inevitably their later films flopped. Their space was taken over by the likes of Ram Gopal Verma.
The Ramsay films are part of our history. They are not to be scoffed at.
