Forget Bela Lugosi or Max Schreck – the most demonic incarnation of Count Dracula was the actor named Rehan in this forgotten gem of Pakistani cinema. This phenomenal work combines the best of Ed Wood and Bollywood and must astound anybody watching. Between the wooden performances, impromptu musical numbers, gothic castle sets and crazy over-the-top characters, The Living Corpse stands in a class of its own. With its total ignorance of all the principles of traditional film language this is a truly radical avant-garde piece of work.
