5.0 out of 5 stars Long lost Vampire classic is finally unleashed on the world, August 24, 2003

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

no self respecting horror (and especially) vampire film fans collection is quite complete without the addition of this long lost classic that has only recently been re-discovered and restored to its original glory for its DVD release. the extras alone are worth the price of the film...a running commentary track, a "making of" mini-film, a trailer, poster art and lobby card galleries...colorized versions and otherwise, interviews with the director, producer, and main stars of the film as well as leading experts on the subject....also a fab programme on South Asian weird movies featuring clips from some great Bollywood shockers...and loads more. Oh, and the film itself is magnificently atmospheric and remains the first film to be awarded the "ADULTS ONLY" certificate in the country of its origin. A welcome and rich addition to the vampire film heritage...and at [this price]- its a travesty not to order one NOW

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive!, October 24, 2003

By A Customer

This is truly a rare find. A Pakistani version of the Dracula tale. It's actually one the better versions out there. Despite a low budget its really well filmed and reminds you of the old gothic horrors of the 30s with the mist filled catacombs and dark castles. A different twist is added at the beginning that the Count is actually a scientist who was searching for eternal life and theres a few demented touchs like a sequence in which the vampire gives one of his female companions a baby to feast upon instead of chomping on his guest. This DVD also contains two documentaries. One is on Indian and Pakistani horror films the other a making of documentary. A real treat for anybody looking for something rare and exotic. Hopefully this will spark other distrubution companies to get the rights to some other South East Asian horror pics. I would love to see some of the Ramsay brothers films on DVD with Extras and English subs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Classic, November 5, 2003

By A Customer

The Living Corpse is an unexpected, rare and extremely valuable addition to the vampire genre. The story more or less follows Bram Stoker's novel and this is acknowldged in the film's credits. But whereas some viewers may think that the value of the film would lie in its inadvertent comic value this is not the case. For much of its duration, The Living Corpse, is a tightly directed serious piece of film making. The performances are excellent - particularly the actor who plays Dracula - and the photography is evocative of the German expressionist period. The Living Corpse is a surprisingly good Dracula remake and the fact it was made in pakistan in the 1960s makes it a rare gem.

The DVD also comes with a host of excellent add ons. There is an extremely informative commentry as well as short doucumentaries on South Asian horror films and on the making of the Living Corpse.

Highly recommended to all horror film fans and aficionados of curiosities.
