In the age of streaming, where thrillers like Bird Box, The Midnight Club, or Stranger Things frequently vie for attention with escalating shock value, visceral spectacle, and special effects, Amazon Prime Video’s Andhera by Raaghav Dar offers something genuinely different: a creeping, psychological horror that lingers long after the screen goes dark. Andhera is a complex meditation on how darkness, literal and metaphorical, invades our lives through psychological conflict, social anxiety, and urban alienation. While watching it on many occasions, I was reminded of the 2017 American film It by Andy Muschietti that also explored psychological manifestations of evil, and treated darkness and fear as tangible forces rather than just emotions.
