India’s first werewolf movie ‘Bhediya’ starring Varun Dhawan in the titular role is all set to release in theatres on 25th November. The film’s trailer has got Indian cinephiles quite excited. But there is still about a month left for Bhediya’s release. So, in a follow-up to our last week’s article, we have compiled another list of five post-2k creature-horror movies you can watch on Indian OTT platforms. We have intentionally tried to include a blend of popular and relatively underappreciated films for this list.

Pari, 2018 (Streaming on Amazon Prime Video)

Helmed by Prosit Roy (Paatal Lok), the film’s story revolves around a printing press owner, who finds a woman chained inside an old hut.
