I guess you could not call "Hell's Ground" a true, modern-day film, it's more of a throwback to the 70's style of horror, and a mix of Bollywood & Lollywood meets Dawn of the Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. There is rather a nasty killing right at the beginning but that's merely a teaser. There is a group of young people (rich & spoiled, for the most part) who have conspired to attend some kind of a concert 5 hours away from where they live, and of course they've lied about where they'll be so their parents don't know. The have procured a "stylin" van, with lots of lurid murals on the side, something that most of them don't want to even be seen in, for the trip. Of course, their trip is anything but smooth & they become lost in a remote area, while trying to find a short-cut. And they happen across an area where the locals have been transformed into flesh-eating zombies by polluted water. But, they do manage to leave that area and find something even worse. One young girl has stumbled across an old shack which is apparently something along the lines of the local butcher shop, which you know has to be bad news. She has told the old woman she's found there that there's a crazy man wearing a "burqa" running around killing people but the old woman says "that's silly, men don't wear "burqas"". ?!? So it's a WOMAN? Aiee!
This seems to be an loving homage to horror films of old, and not just "copying". The director, Omar Ali Khan, is the owner of an ice cream shop in Islambad. He also has the awesome "Hot Spot Online" which features many fine reviews of Bollywood & Lollywood films (as well as films from elsewhere). At one point during "Zibahkhana", one character (OJ) is watching "Zinda Laash" (The Living Corpse), which is Pakistan's first horror film from 1967. Later, at a tea shop, he tells an old man that he knows he was the actor from that film, who played "Dracula"...the old man denies it but I did look it and and lo and behold, it IS Rehan, who did play that role. Of course, OJ's friends just think he smoked too much hash.
Anyway, I liked this a lot, and you have to enjoy this in the spirit in which it was made. Fun stuff, 8 out of 10.
