1920 – Evil Returns Review: Star Performances
Jaidev’s shayari is a nice touch, but when they do it in nail-biting scenes it gets annoying. It doesn’t help that they have the ‘vomit’ and ‘crawling’ scenes blatantly lifted from The Exorcist. By the interval you’re already tired of shadows in the dark and white eyeballs. are nice but it leaves a lot to be desired in the scare department. Vikram Bhatt and Amin Hajee’s story is intriguing and it leaves a lot of space for you to connect the dots in the first half of the film.

The very poster of 1920 – Evil Returns reminds you of the classic, and the scenes in the movie attest it further.
It’s surprising that almost four decades after it was made, The Exorcist continues not only “inspires” horror filmmakers, but has scenes lifted exactly from it.
