In the Pakistani horror movie from writer/director Zarrar Kahn…
“After the death of the family patriarch, a mother and daughter’s precarious existence is ripped apart by figures from their past – both real and phantasmal. They must find strength in each other if they are to survive the malevolent forces that threaten to engulf them.”
Variety notes that In Flames is a Canada-Pakistan co-production with support from Telefilm Canada. Production companies include CityLights Media, Other Memory Media and Fae Pictures.
Kahn said in a statement, “We’re thrilled to partner with XYZ films in bringing In Flames to audiences. Our goal was to create a film that speaks to the international potential of Pakistani genre cinema, and it is a huge honor to be the first South Asian film in their slate. XYZ has a rich history of championing the best of global genre, and we cannot imagine a better home for our Pakistani genre-defying horror film.”
“XYZ is thrilled to be working with Zarrar and his brilliant team of producers to bring In Flames to audiences. He’s a powerful talent, someone we think is a truly generational voice from Pakistan, and his feature debut is powerful, haunting stuff. We knew we had to be involved from the moment we first looked at the script and couldn’t be happier they’ve welcomed us to be part of the team,” XYZ’s Todd Brown said in a statement of his own.
