This is a classic early Indian horror much too advanced for its time in Indian cinema. A person watching this film in 2007 will inevitably have to bypass the trends and fashion which is can only be described as historic however horror fans will see Raat was a template for Ram Gopal Verma's later horror release of Bhoot.
I consider Raat to illustrate excellent example of direction and editing and production when obviously finances and resources may have been low. From excellent camera angles to inventive scare sequences this film in my view is a must to watch, I especially applaud the classic "cinema scene" in which the possessed character is involved.
Individuals looking for scare a moment action will be disappointed this is a thinking horror and watched intently through out will effect a lot more.
The film offers powerful atmosphere of unease throughout and although perhaps too long and involving an unnecessary cat, the film will leave one looking over ones shoulder at night.
