So I like to give claps for those people of Pakistan who at least made a brave move and tried do some 'sophisticated' works though their work may go in vain or worthless to watch for any horror fan. |
So, did the Day of the Dead remake go straight to video? Or did I just not hear about a theatrical release?
I remember seeing the trailer awhile back and being baffled by how mindnumbingly horrid it looked... |
