KHOONI RAAT
1991, D: J.D. Lawrence
Friends Video release
Poor Javed Khan! He looks so forlorn on the coyer
of this VCD (at bottom right). Could it be that his
career had taken’ a nosedive after his starring roles
ina handful of horror and action movies in the late
80s and early 90s? KHOONI RAAT is a tale of black
magic, bad tantriks, and a wandering female ghost
‘out for revenge. Basically, it’s your run-of-the-mill
Bollywood ghost flick—and a confusing one at that.
This VCD sleeve's visual elements includes one of
the more commonly-seen images (at center) to grace
Indian exploitation promo artwork: a photo ‘that
was utilized for the poster of Sam Raimi’s THE EVIL
DEAD (1981).
