Pakistani Horror Film ‘Deemak’ Set to Haunt Theaters, Trailer Unveiled (EXCLUSIVE)
Pakistani cinema is poised to embrace the horror genre again with 'Deemak,' a psychological supernatural thriller.
Directed by Rafay Rashdi (“Badshah Begum,” “The Java Plum Tree”) and written by Ayesha Muzaffar (author of “Abus Jinns” and “Jinnistan”), “Deemak” explores the volatile relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law against a backdrop of escalating paranormal disturbances in a family home. The film assembles a cast of Pakistani talent including Faysal Quraishi (“Money Back Guarantee”), Sonya Hussyn (“Tich Button”), Samina Peerzada (“Balaa”), Javed Sheikh (“Chand Nagar”) and Bushra Ansari (“Tere Bin”). After decades of low-budget productions and TV serials, the genre experienced a modern revival with “Zibahkhana” (2007), an English-Urdu zombie slasher that became Pakistan’s first horror film to screen at several international festivals.
