Banned Pakistani gore flick on DVD in August


Here’s a first. Pakistan’s first-ever splatter flick to be exact. Banned in its home country, Hell’s Ground arrives on Region 2 DVD in August through TLA Releasing.

 

Directed by Omar Khan, the premise to Hell’s Ground (aka Zibahkhana) sounds not dissimilar to your common or garden western stalk’n’slash movie: group of good-looking teens take off in a van; van runs out of fuel; teens stranded in woods where they’re prey to some unstoppable, unspeakable terror.

 

 

That it throws in ‘rotting, flesh-eating zombies’, a ‘decapitated head-toting, screaming banshee-like hitchhiker’, midgets and cannibalism for good measure is probably no bad thing.

 

But where Hell’s Ground differs from yer average Texas Chain Saw Massacre-derived horror is in featuring a crazed killer in a blood-spattered burqa swinging a spiked mace. Perhaps predictably, it’s led to the Pakistan authorities banning the movie. Still, gore fans and the curious alike will be able to pick it up from 4 August with extras including a featurette, behind-the-scenes premiere footage, TV promo trailers and a photo gallery.

 

 

For more on the colourful background to Hell’s Ground, check out this story from Time magazine. Hell's Ground will be reviewed in a future issue of DVD & Blu-ray Review.
