ShareHell's Ground - TLA Releasing [$19.99]
The movie itself (also known as Zibahkhana) is your standard slasher effort. A group of teens head out to see a concert and get systematically butchered by an unseen assassin. That the killer wears a bloodied burka is the first note that something rather extraordinary is happening here. Advertised as “Pakistan’s First Gore Film”, DVD distributor TLA Releasing has given sweet shop/internet café owner turned filmmaker Omar Khan a wealth of added content to explain the problems of making horror flicks under the strict religious laws and government censorship of his homeland. This material is far more fascinating—and frightening—than the film itself.
