Director Omar Ali Khan teams with Mondo Macabro to create Pakistan's first splatter flick, a demented tale of terror pitting a group of stranded teens against a horde of hungry zombies, a shrieking hitchhiker, and a burqa-clad killer armed with a gore-drenched mace. They were on the road to adventure when their van ran out of gas. Now, as a desperate group of teens attempt to navigate their way out of a darkened forest, the earth cracks open to reveal an army of cannibalistic corpses. As if

...a pastiche of classics of the genre and flat out homage to the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" that observes all the conventions with a twinkle in its eye.
Smart, funny rip-off of Texas Chainsaw Massacre that does not take itself too seriously and that is loads of fun.
This is why Hell's Ground is so great. It respects the past while applying it gingerly, graciously, and when necessary, grossly.
Overall, a measured mix of clichéd horror bits and wit to joke about them keeps Hell's Ground even for a horror audience.
So while you're being assaulted with ideas, characters and monsters that are clearly 'borrowed' from other sources, well, it's just quite the novelty to witness Pakistan's first gore movie.
Khan has tapped into that fear to create the masked serial killer for Hell's Ground. That's right. His crazed killer wears a burkha.
Convoluted is one way to put it. It's starts with zombies and ends with a Texas Chain Saw Massacre type slasher... what? But I still really liked the film. It's shot and constructed like a film from the 70s and you can clearly see the TCSM and Evil Dead influences, but I mean who doesn't copy now-adays. What saved this

The first film from Pakistan plays out like a homage to few classic horror films.Is a slasher film with few zombies in it & a family of maniacs that lives in the woods.For the budget that the film was working with,it was a good attempt from this first time director.So we have teenagers with tickets to a concert
