[Trailer] ‘Sherbahadur’ is the Unofficial Nepali Remake of ‘Don’t Breathe’
Don’t Breathe is probably a great horror film in any language.
Many classic horror films have been given unofficial remakes outside the United States over the years, including a Turkish take on The Exorcist, an Indonesian Friday the 13th and a Bollywood version of A Nightmare on Elm Street featuring a mullet-haired Freddy!
The latest horror movie to get an unofficial knockoff is Fede Alvarez’s Don’t Breathe, which director Raj Rajbanshi has turned into this year’s Nepali film, Sherbahadur.
In the film, starring Sunil Thapa as “The Blind Man”…
“Three people rob the houses of rich people when the owners are out of town. They then find out about Sherbahadur , a rich ex-army man and plan to rob his house.”
The trailer, which you can check out below, was recently tweeted to Fede Alvarez himself, who quote-tweeted it with the words, “That actually looks badass.”
Sherbahadur was released in Nepal earlier this month.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
