Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story

Through a saturating layer of ongoing prejudices Doc Zee has taken a light story into an abstract thriller that challenges the viewers preconceptions about contemporary cinema and cultural biases. For me the true genius of this film is when you are capable of viewing it as an anti-horror of the present day version of the genre that it is emulating. Modern horror tropes are thrown to the wind as the film instead employs elements from horror's roots. The film has beautiful and immersive scenes depicting the people and culture of Pakistan.

A movie with astonishing scenery filled with thriller and beautiful music, I love the street food scene and the performance of armless boy.

This film is a unique and fun blend of cultures from independent film maker Doctor Zee. While the comedy was subtle and sometimes lost on me, the story was poignant and leaves the viewer curious as to what comes next. The love story was familiar but in no ways common. The thriller parts of the film provided a nice contrast to the romance and comedy (that I did get), breaking the film up in an effective way. The comedy that I "got" was clever and worked with the story, however, I feel that a bit of the humor is geared towards people more familiar with Pakistani culture/life. Overall I felt that this was an interesting story that satisfies. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie. Be prepared for a wild ride!

Once again we have the local treasure , Doc Zee, off to make another off best but worthwhile film. A romantic horror comedy that works on several levels. The very lovely local actors for the romantic part, chainsaw girl and cockroach were lots of fun and there is a subtle understory about child labor in the area. If you love a gory movie, this is not one for you, very little blood, and nice clean romance between the main characters. Not to mention panoramic view of the wonderful countryside.

I had the privilege to watch the movie at a special sneak preview screening of the film. Filmmaker and artists were present there, which made it more joyous event for audience.

Good production by local crew. Every actor (leading & supporting) played their part exceptionally well.

Story revolves around an American girl who comes to Pakistan and is amazed by the beauty & culture of the country.

Landscape of the locations is filmed with great details.

Movie is same time hilarious & horror, serious & funny. You don't find these qualities in a single production.

Though the boy & girl performed really well in their leading characters but the performance of 'Chainsaw girl' and 'Cockroach' is outstanding. Even the names of these characters made it great catch to watch it.

Don't want to spoil the story for you guys.

Makers of the movie put a great effort to bring this project to the silver screen. A must watch.
