All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Hell's Ground (2007)

AKA: Zibahkhana

Director: Omar Khan

Premise:
Five kids on the way to a concert have their van break down and get attacked by zombies (who turn from the polluted water) and killer wearing a burqa.

My Take:
While there's nothing new here to add to the zombie or serial killer genres the joy comes from watching the influences from the Pakistani culture get melted into the story. This was labeled as the first gore film from the country and the gore is quite copious. I think it does get a tad ambitious by throwing together too many things which results in odd editing and pacing.

Rating: In the middle
