What Works for Khauf:

Khauf stands out in the crowded horror genre for its psychological edge, which elevates it beyond a typical supernatural fare. Unlike many horror shows that rely on jump scares or predictable tropes, Khauf masterfully intertwines Madhu’s past traumas with the strange happenings in her hostel room. The narrative of the show feels both unsettling and deeply human. The series succeeds in building atmospheric dread, courtesy its exceptional cinematography; be it the dimly lit hostel corridors or the claustrophobic room.
