Shubra Gupta | The Indian Express: 2/5Overall, there’s not enough sustained unease or a sense of dread or foreboding. Nor is there too much originality: I got flashes of John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place, and Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca ... Full Review
Devasheesh Pandey | News18: 3/5Ghost Stories is experimental but not overwhelming. The directors have tied individual short films together with good production value and vision ... Full Review
Saibal Chatterjee | NDTV: 2.5/5Tales Of Horror Have Never Been So Imperturbable. Let alone genuine jump scares, the film does not even eke out moments that could be deemed spine-chilling ... Full Review
Gautam Batra | Koimoi: 3/5Dibakar Banerjee’s Soul-Shaking & Spine-Chilling Story Stands Out From The Rest. The two and half hour approx film works in half and disappoints equally ... Full Review
Swetha Ramakrishnan | FirstPost: 3/5Dibakar Banerjee's political short film elevates an otherwise bland anthology that just isn't scary ... Full Review
Bilal Qureshi | The New York Times: 2/5As with any samplers, however, there are some tastes better left forgotten and others one hopes will be expanded into fuller, even more terrifying forms ... Full Review
Karina Adelgaard | Heaven of Horror: 3/5The anthology starts out pretty strong with a short film by director Zoya Akhtar. It has an intense vibe and creepiness that builds suspense wonderfully. It does feel a bit slow, but the ending of the first short film in Ghost Stories is very satisfying ... Full Review
Sudhir Srinivasan | The New Indian Express: 2.5/5This horror anthology doesn’t frighten you as much as it should. Ultimately though, it all fizzles out into an underwhelming end that fails to shock or surprise, despite a few peaks of intrigue. Perhaps it’s the stifling effect of the horror genre, perhaps it’s the limited run time, but this is a criticism, I think, that can be largely cast on the anthology as a whole ... Full Review
Prejomon Sunny | The Week: 3/5An anthology of horror shorts sans the horror. Much of the horror is orchestrated with the help of ominous music, great camerawork ... Full Review
Srivathsan Nadadhur | Binged: 2.5/5Extremely Original Ideas Let Down by Their Vagueness ... Full Review
Delnaz Divecha | Book My Show: 2.5/5Neither does it aggravate many phobias (except maybe Anurag Kashyap’s story) nor does the overall narrative feel pertinent. Dibakar Banerjee’s story stands out and could have rather been presented as a singular short film ... Full Review
Sanyukta Thakare | Filmi Beat: 2.5/5Overall the runtime of 144 minutes feels even longer due to the slow stories and relaxed presence of the ghosts, which weren't actually there, except in the last story. But that wasn't scary either. Cartoon Network's Courage The Cowardly Dog, has felt scarier than this ... Full Review

Sukhpreet Kahlon | Cinestaan: 2.5/5This Netflix anthology fails to capture the horror genre. The anthology film offers interesting stories and vivid characters but fails miserably at being scary ... Full Review
Antara Dasgupta | Maps of India: 3/5Ghost Stories is eccentric and progressed a lot from detaching itself from the cliched method of stirring sex with horror. Instead, it has uplifted the genre with subjects like politics and communal violence in society ... Full Review
Hiba Bég | The Quint: 2.5/5Ghost Stories was a disappointing watch because the talent involved makes you expect so much more. The stories keep building-up and result in nothing ... Full Review
