How to Watch 1920 Movies In Order – A Complete Streaming Guide

The year 1920 is synonymous with Bollywood horror, thanks to the supernatural franchise of the same name. But with so many 1920 movies released in the past two decades, keeping a track of them can be difficult.

So, we’ve got you covered with a complete streaming guide to watch every 1920 movie in chronological order.

How to watch the 1920 movies in chronological order

The chronological order of watching the 1920 movies:

• 1920 (2008)

• 1920: Evil Returns (2012)

• 1920 London (2016)

• 1920 - Horrors of the Heart (2023)

• 1921 (2018)

Considering that every 1920 movie features a new set of characters in different settings, each movie can be watched on its own or in order of the release date. But in terms of the years in which the movies unfurl, the 2018 spin-off 1921 can be watched in the end, once you’re all done with the other parts.

The first 1920 movie was written and directed by Indian horror veteran Vikram Bhatt and went on to be a massive commercial success. Loosely inspired by The Exorcist, 1920 was set in a haunted mansion with a premise centered around a possessed girl in pre-Independence India.

The sequel 1920: Evil Returns explored similar cases of possession in the very same year but the settings and characters were replaced. The third movie took the paranormal adventures to London while 1920 - Horrors of the Heart revolved around a girl investigating her father’s suicide in colonial-era Bombay. Even though 1921 was released before 1920 - Horrors of the Heart, the movie is set a year after the rest of the franchise and follows a fame-seeking pianist in 1920s England.

What is the Bhatt family’s connection to the 1920 movies?

Vikram Bhatt has been a recurring creative behind most of the movies, directing 1920 and 1921, penning the screenplay for 1920: Evil Returns, and producing the entire franchise. His brother, the acclaimed director Mahesh Bhatt has also had producer and story credits on most of the movies, even writing the script for 1920 - Horrors of the Heart.

Are the 1920 movies based on true stories?

Much like how The Exorcist itself was inspired by real-life cases of Catholic exorcisms, the 1920 movies are inspired by actual cases of possession and exorcisms observed by Hindu and Christian priests. But the characters and the ghosts are largely fictional.
