Storyline

After lying to their parents and running off to see a rock concert, five teenagers leave their suburb neighborhood of Islamabad and travel into the wild only to have their van break down and they get set upon by not only flesh eating zombies, but a ghoulish hitchhiker, and a blood-soaked, burqa-wearing killer.

Trivia

The 1979 Punjabi Lollywood classic is paid homage to, not only with the images that appear on the van the kids use to head for the concert, but also with a sound clip of the theme from Maula Jat when you first see his image on the van.

Goofs

(at around 1h 10 mins) In the scene where Ash killed the maniac hitting him with a stone, she isn't wearing her Allah locket (which she kept wearing throughout). Then she finds the murder weapon and still she isn't wearing it, but when she returns to his dead body she's wearing her locket again.

User Reviews

uninspired bore

I love low-budget movies and those ground-breaking films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Day of the Woman or Cannibal Holocaust are among the best the genre has to offer.

What about Hell's Ground?

Apart from the DVD-cover which is pretty nice, the film is a tough bore. The plot is a dull rip-off of TCM with some ingredients of Blair Witch Project, and the dialogues are as bad as they can possibly get - the acting is very, very bad, I mean: really bad - the costumes are just ridiculous - the soundtrack is awful - and the special effects and visuals are just boring.

I really tried, but I couldn't find anything to like
