This Eid ul Adha, Geo Films is bringing a refreshing twist to Pakistani cinema with the release of Deemak, a horror-family drama that intertwines supernatural thrills with heartfelt domestic storytelling. With a star-studded cast and a promising trailer that’s already sparking widespread curiosity, Deemak is gearing up to make a significant impact at the box office.
A Bold Blend of Horror and Family Dynamics
Unlike traditional horror films that rely solely on jump scares and paranormal elements, Deemak is crafted as a horror-family drama, offering layers of emotion, societal commentary, and character development. The film explores how fear — both supernatural and emotional — can disrupt the very foundation of a home.
According to lead actor Faysal Quraishi, Deemak is set in a relatable middle-class household, where a young couple starts experiencing strange and unexplainable phenomena. But the film’s true strength lies in how it mirrors real-life domestic issues through a horror lens.
Sonya Hussyn, the film’s female lead, emphasized that while there are haunting elements, the film dives deep into complex relationships, touching on sensitive social dynamics such as marital strain, generational conflict, and emotional isolation.
A Story That Hits Close to Home
Veteran actress Samina Peerzada shared an insightful perspective about the narrative: “Deemak doesn’t just show ghosts or creepy occurrences—it reveals the unspoken fears that exist within families, especially between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.” The film skillfully uses horror as a metaphor for everyday emotional struggles, making it both relatable and unsettling.
