In his detailed critique, Dr Ejaz Waris pulled no punches, lamenting the film’s perceived lack of logic and purpose. He branded Zombied as a “poor imitation of Hollywood films” from the 1980s and 1990s, asserting that it failed to evoke any emotion – neither fear, tears, nor laughter. His ultimate verdict was a meager 1.5 stars out of 5, declaring it a complete waste of money and time. He also questioned the recurring casting of actors like Babar Ali and Javed Sheikh, advocating for new talent in the industry.
While Dr Ejaz Waris stood firm on his critique, many social media users quickly voiced their disagreement, praising Zombied and suggesting that such harsh criticism hinders the growth of the Pakistani film industry.
