Directed by Syed Atif Ali and co-written by Muhammad Ahsan, Pari is an upcoming Pakistani horror film that reminds one of the likes of The Conjuring and Annabelle. 

The director, an avid Stephen King fan, promises the movie has a solid story line. With no prominent faces starring in the movie, the story-line will be the sole star of the show. Let's hope it proves to be a successful venture and we all can finally celebrate a good Pakistani horror movie. The movie is expected to release on November 3, 2017.
