ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Omar Ali Khan has added a quirky dimension to the description of Pakistan as a front line of the war on terror — a Hollywood-inspired movie that’s sparking surprising interest at home and abroad.
“We had zero expectations,” says the director of “Zibahkhana,” the country’s first modern-themed horror film which mixes plenty of blood and gore with humor as well as just about every genre cliche and some social commentary about today’s Pakistan.
The film (titled “Hell’s Ground” in English) has already been shown at festivals in Europe and the United States, cheered at sold-out screenings in Pakistan and garnered positive press, including an article in Time magazine.
