Zibahkhana seems to be a good, bloody, gory zombie movie. And its made in Pakistan, amazingly enough.
Check out their website, and watch the trailer (Be warned though, they give the whole story away). It seems to be the tried and tested horror story. Kids get together to go to a concert, take a “shortcut” and end up in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre-esque house. On the way they get to meet the neighborhood zombies. Blah Blah.
Why is this one important? Movies like this don’t usually get made in Pakistan. It’ll be interesting to see people screaming in Urdu ( in a sick, twisted, perverted way). Plus, they have a dwarf zombie! I mean, zombie movies are always fun, right? ;)
Its been previewed by a lot of reputable sites, including Variety and Time Magazine. It even has its own IMDB page!
Looks like this trend towards better quality movies is starting to take over Pakistani cinema. But this movie does form a heavy contrast with the much more serious Khuda Kay Liye.
Unfortunately, Zibahkhana doesnt look to be released in Pakistan. According to Variety,
Producers are almost certain “Zibahkhana” will not be approved for domestic release by Pakistan’s censor board. Nevertheless, both producer and director believe in the marketability of their project.
Hopefully, it will be available on DVD. Here’s the trailer. (WARNING: Very, very, VERY, GORY. Stay away if you have a weak stomach or have not been able to sit through the likes of Saw.)
The trailer was disgustingly creepy man… and the movie seems far better than those stupid pushto and gujjar movies… well i hope it turns out to be a big hit.
