4.0HAUNTED – ECHOES OF THE PAST rests on a promising story, but fails to deliver a compelling cinematic experience due to weak execution and poor storytelling.
The Free Press Journal
Film review ·
4.0The narrative often seems content to coast on nostalgia. Much of the storytelling unfolds exactly as seasoned horror viewers expect, with revelations arriving long after they have been anticipated. Unfortunately, those moments are too infrequent to fully rescue the proceedings from predictability.
Times Of India
Film review
4.0A dated horror sequel that struggles to haunt. A horror sequel that remains haunted not by spirits, but by its inability to move beyond the formula.
Hindustan Times
Film review
2.0Somehow, films as painstakingly assembled as Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga and Kangana Ranaut's Bharat Bhaagya Viddhaata have opened below Vikram Bhatt's latest horror flick. At this point, the supernatural isn't on screen; it's at the ticket window.

Film review
2.0Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past has no real scares, no real acting, no real sets, no real drama, no real crows and no real 3D effects. The first time the ghost shows his pasty CGI face in 3D, the audience was laughing. The film's USP is not the scares but the unintentional laughs.
