Pakistani Splatter-Fest Zibahkhana: Hell’s Ground Trailer Hits the Web

When we first wrote about Omar Khan’s Zbahkhana - the first ever Pakistani splatter film - all the way back in August I honestly thought that the film would be of interest mostly as a novelty item. Pakistan doesn’t have the most robust film industry in the first place and first efforts in any genre are seldom particularly good, but then word began to circulate among those in the know that Khan actually had something on his hands here. Then came festival screenings in Denmark and Philadelphia - and if anyone caught it at either, I’d love a review - with more good buzz and I’ve just caught a look at the screener on the film’s official MySpace page. And? Khan intends it as a distinctly Pakistani tribute to Romero and Fulci and he’s hit his mark dead on. Very good stuff, very fun.

Zibahkhana is a great effort by omer ali khan. Few years back i had a chance to visit Hot Spot for the flavour malted vanila with chocolate crunch. I was amazed to see the classic horror movies collection of the owner because I m also an obsessed fan of the classic horror movies of 70"s ,80” and modern horror movies.

The effort by omer ali khan in such a limited resources and technical support from the film industry seems to be a great achieving and I think the movies like zibahkhana can bring revolution to Pakistan film industry and can attract young blood to cinema halls. The location for the shooting is awesome and the horror scenes filmed and sound effects can match any badesi horror movie of any era.

simply I congratulate the director for making such a gem of a movie.
