Inspection Bungalow – Horror Comedy on ZEE5
Inspection Bungalow arrives on ZEE5 as a gripping blend of horror, mystery, and dark comedy, offering a fresh take on the haunted-house genre. Directed by Saiju S. S. and written by Suneesh Varanadu, the series takes viewers deep into the eerie silence of an abandoned government property where secrets whisper through cracked walls and shadows hold unsettling truths.
A Plot That Blurs the Line Between Reality and the Supernatural
The story centers on Sub-Inspector Vishnu, played with intensity by Shabareesh Varma. Vishnu is a man trying hard to escape the weight of a troubled past. In an attempt to find stability, he accepts a posting in the quiet village of Aravangad—only to be assigned to the notorious, deserted quarters known as the Inspection Bungalow.
Locals fear the place. Strange noises. Sudden deaths. Figures seen and then gone. But Vishnu dismisses all of it—until the unexplainable begins to unfold before his eyes.
As eerie events escalate, a series of unexplained deaths turn the posting into a waking nightmare. Vishnu, trapped between duty and fear, is forced to confront not only the mysterious forces around him but also the emotional scars he has long avoided.
