Be it any era of Indian cinema, there will always exist a few such cine genres which will own the potency to of pulling the viewers to the cineplexes. And undoubtedly Horror is one such ilk of cine making which most of the times has managed to fill the pockets of those fiddling withit. Although like many other molds of cine making even horror exemplar has witnessed a sea change in its guise in past few years. But in spite of that there are certain condiments of Horror movies which have remained intact and are still loud enough to grab the attention of those belonging to viewers' fraternity.

And they are thrill, adrenaline kicking horror and SLEAZE (which also use to be the major driving handle of Ramsay cine caricatures). But at the same time there is no denying the fact that in the recent past the proportion of these three necessary cine flavors of a horror cine making has thoroughly changed. Now it's the sleaze or sensuality coefficient which tops the preference list of those who try their luck with the spooky cine cantatas. And if you have any doubts about our observation then just check out the following list of horror cine flicks where sleaze had been given more prominence by the makers then any other coefficient.

Alone
Cast: Bipasha Basu, Karan Singh Grover
Directed By: Bhushan Patel


Although this remake of 2007 Thai release with same name is yet to enter the cine arena, but in spite of that it has started evolving as a grapevine stirrer. And the major reason behind the same is the unleashing of some of the carnal endeavors of Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh in form of teasers and songs, which have literally made millions of Bipasha's fans restless.

Though we are not very sure about the extent till which "Alone" will succeed in haunting the fans, but after seeing these tantalizing visual delights we sure that it will get thoroughly noticed because its sensuality quotient.

Khamoshiyaan
Cast: Gurmeet Choudhary, Ali Fazal, Sapna Pabbi
Director: Karan Dara


As far as this upcoming cine venture of Vishesh films is concerned then it has already got an A certificate from Bollywood's moral police "Censor". And it's quite obvious that this A certificate has not been awarded to the movie because of some superlative horror quotient. Rather it is because of the scintillating sensuality portrayed by movie's lead Sapna and Ali, which has garners the "Adult only" honor for the movie.

Ragini MMS 2
Cast: Sunny Leone, Saahil Prem, Parvin Dabas
Director: Bhushan Patel


Though the makers made tall claims about Ragini MMS 2's being the first horrex of Indian cine history and its carrying a bone chilling spook value. But eventually this entire cine affair of Balaji Films turned out to be something knitted to satiate the carnal craving of men who can go up till any extent to get a glimpse of gorgeous Sunny, who was the only USP of Ragini MMS2.

Neighbors
Cast: Arbaaz Ali Khan, Roushika Reikhi, Shakti Kapoor
Director: Shyam Ramsay


While unveiling this amalgamated potpourri of horror and sex, probably horror wizards Ramsay's wouldn't have realized that in the past few decades the "horr-orientation" of Bollywood cineasts has thoroughly drifted from the point where it use to be almost two decades back. And in order to re-capture their lost territory they tried to cash upon their tried and tested formula of horror and sleaze, but unfortunately this time even their years of experience and expertise which they had could not change the fate of their Horror+Sex combo "Neighbors".

Raaz 3D
Cast: Emraan Hashmi, Bipasha Basu, Esha Gupta
Director: Vikram Bhatt


Well when it's dusky beauty Bipasha leading from the front then how can you even think about the absence of sensuality. And we guess Vikram Bhatt's Raaz 3 is in no manner an exception for the rule. Where besides thrill and mild dose of horror it was tons of sensuality which literally left the viewers dumbstruck.

Ragini MMS
Cast: Kainaz Motivala, Raj Kumar Yadav, Mangala Ahire
Director: Pawan Kripalani


This directorial venture of Pawan Kripalani produced by Ekta Kapoor was partly circumscribed around the core of paranormal. But besides what it had was a mind boggling quantity of sleaze. Which the makers portrayed through the sensual adventure of a couple which literally goes awry when an uninvited guest joins them in their carnal acts.
