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!
