Very well executed

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

For once the advert on the sleeve of the DVD is correct, the bloodiest flick coming out of Pakistan. I enjoyed it from the beginning until the end. Even as it is spoken in Pakistanese and here and there some English it was watchable.The story of course we have seen a thousand times. 5 friends want to go to a concert without the agreement of their parents but they never arrive at the concert. They arrive in zombieland and not only that, a creepy killer is also on the lose.I can't say anything negative about Zibahkhana which in fact means 'slaughterhouse'. The acting was rather good, editing was okay. naturally the director looked to the classic horrors to know what to do. It worked out fine. Maybe it's a bit funny to see the deranged killer walking in a burkha. But why you kept looking is the use of some nasty gory shots. It's strange to see for a conservative country that such kind of flick could be made. Guess it was banned over there.It do has a proper release nowadays all over Europe with subtitles in a few languages. A bit of a no- brainer but recommended for the horror buffs and even the gorehounds. Gore 3/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 4/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

ZibahKhana aka Hells Ground 2007 is the worst horror film ever made in history of world cinema,no sensible person will like this it is a insane film for insane people,i love horror,gore & similar genre films but this is an insult.the plot:few teenagers go to a rock concert by lying to their parents in evening as darkness approaches they get lost & get hunted by zombies & large spike balls spinning maniac.this film was inspired by Texas chainsaw massacre & other popular horror and zombie movies,what were they makers thinking they included gore and blood here but it looks like ketchup or paint,the zombies looked like beggars asking for money,the cast is bad all actors except Rubya Chaudhary.the dialog's are written by a 12 years old the characters uttering f words every 5 minutes,the music is bad using Naheed Ahkats & Noor Jehan 1970s songs will not make this watchable,the spike-ball Burke wearing guy is a joke on ghost rider of marvel comics i am not talking about this film with Nicolas Cage in 2007 the novels came decades before that,if you have read the novels you will agree,hells ground is filled with overacting & stupidity.are those reviews paid how did so many critics & people liked this thing more then 100 critics watched this and praised it audience is loosing taste in movies these days,i recently saw this and disappointed as i raised my expectations after reading reviews.pick any other horror series like wrong turn series they are greater then this any day,its an awful attempt & a example of bad film making,for people who liked this film because of 2 many genres mixed in one & atmosphere you will be disappointed.filming scenes in night & dark does not make you a film maker otherwise every new filmmaker would become Christopher Nolan.this is a Z Grade film Hells Ground 2007 is a waste of money & time its free on Youtube if you want to watch it.Rather take a trip to hell then watching his boring film.My Rating is 1/10 don't watch this awful film at any cost stay way.Skipp It

I'd never seen a Pakistani film before I saw Zibahkhana.But if they are all of the same quality,then I'd better not watch any Pak movies.The film is supposedly a horror flick revolving around 5 young people-3 guys and 2 girls,of which one guy and girl are wayward.The 5 of them go to watch a rock concert without the knowledge of their parents and guardians, and happen to take a jungle road which is "cursed",where all the ghostly encounters begin.But who can get scared of this??The worst part? The music!!! what was the composer thinking of while working on this film??? A horror or comedy flick?? It doesn't suit horror at all!Actors are all sub standard. The costumes are pathetic.Imagine a ghost wearing Burqa(Yeah maybe that happens in Pakistan!!) And what are a group cannibals doing in a forest butchering people?For what? the film has lot of gore and blood,but pointless.That's not what it take to make a scary film.ONE GOOD THING-NO VULGARITY, UNLIKE OTHER SO CALLED CRAP HORRORS.The film is not worth a watch really.Wonder what award it won??

First of All I'm huge MOVIE FANS means got 1600+ DVDs/VHS and of all Genre. One of the biggest Horror Fan and Zombie / Masked Killer type of Films are in my beloved league... (NOTLD, TCM my all time favorite) Well this is my own country's first ever effort in gore / splatter kind of genre and naturally since I first heard of this movie, I was Mad like hell to watch it... and my dearest wish come true last night in LUMS Premiere of this movie I must say It was Fun experience, means what we were promised in the trailer in lots of different discussions in many site ( I Read almost all Zibahkahan related Blogs) is all what we get. The movie as per director himself is not Bollywood piece of commercialism, nor its Iranian directors piece of artwork.. I was campy fun ride and was beautifully done... BUT .. If you just think on my line in summary that its its all purposely and it should be deliberately... I mean this is good effort we appreciate but according to me in these type of films usually cheesy and campy stuffs are deliberately placed.. and its viewer who spot them and than CULT FOLLOWING comes.. but in the movie I got a feeling that Placement of such material was forced and there was clear purpose behind them to get noticed.. for example... Deewana Character.. first we got DVD Cover than 1 min clip of Zinda Lash.. some shots of that actor as Dracula... than during Tea Stall scene O.J even asked him aren't you the same guy who play Dracula..... seee....instead of let the audience guess it or let the reviewer write it in trivia section.. director just make it clear to everyone what he is intending to do... I hope you get what I was trying to say....but thats nothing what you will see in this 90 Min's films is very entertaining stuff... my only disappointment was they start of with so much footage of protest, contaminated water, than zombie attack.. but somehow left the plot to ignorance.. mean I know movie switched to Slasher /Masked Killer/ Psycho genre but it will be kool if its like Team of teens stuck in middle of nowhere with family of psycho and surrounded by Zombie... even O.J as zombie VS Burqa MAN (realllly ;-0) kind of scene can be different , funny or even hilarious (thats campy) Also For God sake.. I hate Uwe Boll for this .. don't use same footage repeatedly again and again.. we spotted spider in web, hanging crows, cock /hen leg, dolls pieces , full moon all were perfectly visible in first spot.... (sooryy but its teasing....but its First effort to note this for next time...) On bright side.. gr8 movie score, gore, some very kool moments, kool depiction, shocking and overall good movie...I tried to disclose very few spoilers , will not discuss about standard of movie making etc.. as its Weldon.. keeping in mind first ever effort in Pakistan and to begin this is actually very good movie.. I know its easy to criticize and hard to actually make things .. thats why I will appreciate everyone involve in making this film.. keeping in mind the fantastic response its getting everywhere its screened .. great job everyone .. but always make sure.. there is always room for improvement.. hopefully things will improve with other ventures....
