Legacy *Saboot is considered as Ramsay Brothers most unique horror film out of the bunch of other typical horror films they made which were mostly about bhoot pret, cults, shaitan and chudail. Because unlike their other films this didn't exactly have any real ghost or supernatural incidents but something more unique which needs to be seen by the viewers themselves. The film is available on Amazon Prime Video and YouTube.
