EventsAn Arab Film Festival Favorite

Screened at the 21st edition of the Arab Film Festival, October 13-22, 2017

With a tongue-in-cheek homage to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, Jeddah-based filmmaker Ayman Tamano’s found footage “mock-doc” psychological horror ghost story is nevertheless a fright for sore eyes. Set in the notoriously cursed, djinn-infested Madayen Saleh ruins in the north western sector of the Kingdom – a location that has likewise been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site – MADAYEN holds its own as a chilling, buddy movie gone wrong campfire creepfest that never hesitates to pause, from time to time, and poke fun at itself, much less the genres it so fluently draws from.

فيلم رعب سعودي بطريقة وثائقية روائية تحكي قصة فضول ثلاث شباب في إكتشاف حقائق و أسرار ما وراء المنطقة التاريخية و قصص الجن التي تحوم حولها. و لكن فضولهم في معرفة القصص تنقلب إلى صراع للنجاة بحياتهم قبل أن ينضموا إلى قائمة قصص مدائن صالح.
