“You wouldn’t think that A Nightmare On Elm Street really needed musical numbers but the sad fact of the matter is that you’d be very, very wrong because the Ramsey Brothers, by throwing in some song and dance routines and a gay Michael Jackson impersonator, have somehow managed to take a decent enough American horror movie and turn it into something completely different.” – Ian Jane, Rock! Shock! Pop!

 

Are you ready for Freddy? Out of all the Bollywood horror films that were inspired by the worldwide phenomenon of Wes Craven’s A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, MAHAKAAL is the most brazenly outrageous. The film—directed by Shyam Ramsay & Tulsi Ramsay of the legendary Ramsay family—finds Anita and her friends battling Shakaal, a horrifically disfigured dream-stalker with a razor-clawed glove. A mind-altering cocktail of elements from A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 1-5, DAY OF THE DEAD, and THE TERMINATOR, MAHAKAAL is awash with Argento-esque neon, elaborate effects, and joyous musical segments. Newly restored and never before available in North American theaters!
