Movie Connections:

Features Zinda Laash (1967)

In classic b-movie, a group of younglings set out on a quest for fun. Naturally bad things happen

I ended watching this movie on a spur of the moment decision. I learned it was the world premier showing, and the director introduced the movie before the started.

This movie sports all that one can expect from a movie in its genre. Hapless teenagers looking for fun. Slasher zombies and your masked insane killer.

What it also contains are poor camera work, poor acting, stereotypical one-sided characters and an simple yet unbelievable plot. It also tries adding a few political themes on pollution and the degenerate behavior of the Pakistani youth. These factors makes the movie a comedy rather than a horror movie, and actually makes the movie watchable. I give it a 5 because it was good fun, for me nothing more.
