Review

The goriest film yet from Pakistan! Mixes in devices from the slasher, zombie, Poverty Row, and Hammer genres. --Film Threat

Product Description

Pakistan s first splatter flick in the tradition of Friday the 13th and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre delivers spine-tingling thrills when an attractive group of teens pile into a van that runs out of gas in the middle of a dark mysterious forest. Their ghoulish nightmare begins when rotting fresh-eating zombies and a decapitated head-toting screaming banshee-like hitchhiker begin to terrorize them at every turn. But when a mysterious figure dressed in a blood-drenched burqa appears sporting a medieval weapon dripping in gore even the teens prayers won t save them from a night of savage demented horror.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breath of Fresh Air, August 6, 2008

By	A. Khan (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw Hell's Ground in the cinema and the audience reaction was fantastic - a mixture of laughter and some genuine scares. This is an excellent first outing for Omar Khan and he taps into the youth of Pakistan with a freshness and authenticity that has not been explored yet. The film is a homage to the old horror classics but is rooted firmly in Pakistani cinema. And most of all it is not pretentious playing out as a fun filled, gore fest that is made to entertain. Great fun, a good DVD transfer and some excellent extras. Hells ground is a breath of fresh air.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shocked!!, June 27, 2008

By	Hamood Rehman (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just saw this movie, this is an awesome thrill ride in Pakistani settings. Being a horror fan, I would say this is one of the best. I was shocked to learn that the budget for this movie was well below $100,000 which is mind-boggling to say the least. Can't wait for the next flick by Omar Ali Khan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lower your expectations and get ready for a fun ride, June 15, 2008

By	S. Boone "freddykroger" (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

By "lower your expectations", I don't in any way mean that this is a horrible film. I liked it a lot. But don't expect that it's going to be a zombie/gore film to top all others you've seen. It's more a fun homage to zombie/gore films of old, given a Lollywood/Bollywood twist. A bunch of young folks have procured a van and lied to their parents about their whereabouts so that they can attend a concert 5 hours away. They procure a hideously decorated van with lurid murals on the side for their trip, and of course, they HAVE to try a short cut, run out of gas, etc., in an area where polluted water has turned the locals into flesh-eating zombies. They do escape that area and wander into something much worse though, for there's a sort of "Leatherface" character running about the woods slaughtering, but the twist is that this character is wearing a "burqa". One of the young girls finds an old woman and tells her of this character but the woman tells her "that's silly, men don't wear burqas". So it's a WOMAN? Eeek!

Lots of fun music to this, plus a appearance by one "Rehan" whom one of the young folks (OJ) identifies as "Dracula" from "Zinda Laash" (The Living Corpse", although the man denies it. It really is the actor that played him though. But OJ's friends just think he smoked too much hash.

Don't expect too much from this...I liked it but you have to take it in the spirit in which it was made, a fun homage, not the gore film to top all others. Yeah, it's kind of cheesy & derivative, but so what? It's also lots of FUN, and that's why I watch a lot of movies. 4 out of 5.
