The first horror film Pakistan ever made, and it is Hammer's Dracula in all but the paperwork. A scientist drinks his own elixir of eternal life, dies, and gets back up as a caped, fanged predator working out of a crumbling mansion, and a young man arrives looking for the brother who vanished into it. Khwaja Sarfraz lifts Terence Fisher's blocking and Christopher Lee's whole physical performance wholesale, then does the one thing Hammer never would and stops for song-and-dance numbers. It was lurid enough to become the only Pakistani film of its era to earn an adults-only X certificate. A fascinating collision of Lollywood and the British gothic, and far better made than that sentence suggests.
