Summary: Yes! We have HORROR from INDIA!
Comment: You say SPAIN! ENGLAND! JAPAN! MEXICO! GERMANY! FRANCE!
CANADA(Cronenberg..you all softy) and of course the good
old U.S.of A.! But what about INDIA! They to can have their
Horror and HORROR they shall have! To tell the truth I know
nothing of the two films on this disc. I have seen the old school
ghost story Mahal(aval.just now from AMAZON) and my fav.
India HORROR pic. so far KHOONI PANJA! Which has a ANTHROPOPHAGUS
like MONSTER. India HORROR from waaay back was alot like the
HORROR we are now getting from ASIA. Meaning they were really
about the lost of a love one and him/her coming back as a ghost.
Not until the 70's(YES!..Oh! Sorry got carried away) did India
explore TRUE BLOOD! The two Ramsay's Bros. Saw $$$ from these
pic. and poured them out by the bucketful. The English Amicus
and Hammer pic. were very popular back than and if Her Majesty
can do it,by all India can too. I give this 5 stars for the
info they had on India Horror through the ages and felt
it was highly educating. India now is not so much into the
HORROR now as it was in 72-94 They to did remakes of some
of our greatest FRIGHTNING films some are THE EXORCIST(which
I am told blows the DOORS off Beyond the Door and Abby)Night
of the Living Dead(but of course) HENRY:PORTRAIT of a SERIAL
KILLER(was not expecting that!)and HELLRAISER except not
a PUZZLEBOX(sorry PUZZLEMAN)but a LAMP!(THE LAMP! YOU RUBBED
IT.....WE CAME)and a SLAY of others. The cover shows Dracula!
So please try something diff. In your HORROR diet,try a taste
of the TAJ!
NOTE: Again I am new to this HORROR from Bollywood they like
U.S.A.(us!)have their stinkers as well. The ones that look like
they deserve a look-see are INSAAN BANA SHAITAN,KABRASTON
the popular DARWAZA and LOURD BALA..Keep in mind some of these
will have a song or two from the leading actress, alot like
our 40's HORROR(why they feel they must do that I don't know)
HORROR movies will always have a audience all over the world.

Summary: Outstanding release of Bollywood horror masterpieces
Comment: This release by Mondo Macabro shows that nobody can beat them when it comes to introducing weird and fantastic movies from all over the world to the DVD collectors. Both Purana Mandir and Bandh Darwaza have long been regarded as one of the finest examples of Indian horror cinema. This is an acquired taste. You may not like these movies if you are weaned on 90-minute Hollywood slashers. But if you are open to experimenting a bit, enjoy a level of camp, and musical interludes in between some genuinely creepy momemnts, you cannot go wrong with these purchases. The transfers of these 2 films are the best I have seen, given that they are very obscure and the original film elements were never stored properly.
The interviews and essays are fascinating. This is an ESSENTIAL purchase for lovers of horror cinema.

Summary: great value package
Comment: A wonderful window on the world of Bollywood Horror - two movies are included here that makes this extra good value - and there's tons of informative and interesting extras. These movies look a little rough round the edges but they look far far better than can be expected - thanks to Mondo Macabro for having the dedication to release such obscure and fascinating movies
Customer Rating:
Summary: great peek into Indian horror genre - plus documentaries
Comment: Gotta hand it to Mondo Macabro video - They really know their audience! Although I'm no expert, I'm always interested in seeing how other cultures view various genres through film, and not only does MM give us two prime examples of Indian horror, they throw in a cool documentary on Indian films, plus other bonuses. Sure, the film quality isn't 100% perfect, but it doesn't detract from the fun of the films. If you're looking for "Terminator" style action, these probably aren't for you - but if you're even slightly interested in seeing how singing and dancing numbers are integrated into a Dracula story, by all means check it out here!
