In a bold stride for Pakistan’s film industry, Geo Films has released its latest movie, Deemak, nationwide just in time for Eid al-Adha. Directed by Rafay Rashdi and written by Ayesha Muzaffar, this horror-family drama seeks to challenge and expand the boundaries of its genre in local cinema.
Starring industry heavyweights such as Faysal Quraishi, Sonya Hussyn, Samina Peerzada, Javed Sheikh, and Bushra Ansari, Deemak weaves a chilling tale of supernatural events intertwined with emotionally complex family dynamics. Central to the plot is the strained relationship between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law—an often-taboo subject tackled with dramatic intensity and eerie suspense.
What distinguishes Deemak is not only its emotionally resonant storyline but also its ambition to elevate horror within Pakistani storytelling. The film’s trailer has been met with praise from both critics and viewers, applauding its tension-filled narrative and polished production design. Notably, the film’s visual effects, crafted by Julia Milas and Imagine Magic Studios, have stirred conversation—some heralding their quality while others suggesting room for improvement.
Adding to the atmospheric dread is a haunting score by Sohaib Rashdi, which amplifies the psychological stakes and enhances the film’s immersive quality. Presented by Wah Wah Productions and distributed by Geo Films in collaboration with Mandviwalla Entertainment, Deemak is expected to set a new standard for the local horror scene.
For fans of the Scary Movie genre or those drawn to gripping Psychological Thrillers, Deemak offers a timely blend of suspense and social commentary—making it more than just a typical holiday release.
With its rich ensemble, bold themes, and commitment to visual storytelling, Deemak could mark a turning point in the evolution of Movie Genre in Pakistan, offering a glimpse into how horror can reflect deeper societal truths.
