Three

I was pleasantly surprised, since I am not usually one to watch thrillers or horrors - the scaredy cat that I am, I really enjoyed this. It was good to see the two different perspectives and cultural clashes. Being someone of mixed background I can really relate to the two sides.

The young boy is definitely a rising star, he played the character really well, I understand from what I have read that this is his first film, and he did it really well. Looking forward to seeing him in more to come. I really like the way it was shot, the elements of humour and the connection to the UAE which we don't often see in this light.

Super movie and very well done.

This is a captivating and gripping break-through Khaleeji (Arabian Gulf) film. It successfully and accurately depicts a stark reality of contemporary Gulf life, that of local populations living in 'modernity', but remaining stubbornly conservative and superstitious. This attachment to folklore, mysticism and dogmatic faith often gets in the way of truth and scientific understanding. The film does an excellent job of capturing the subtleties of khaleeji life, such as the pervasive gender bias, that includes social attitudes towards single mothers and particularly female khaleeji relationships with foreign men (Taboo!). Perhaps the spirit of rebuttal is best captured by the movie's strong leading female roles and being directed and produced by two prominent Emirati females!

Three makes a concerted effort to provide viewers with a unique twist on the Exorcism narrative. If you're looking for a cheap jump scare horror film, then this may not be for you.

However, if you're looking for a more intricate thriller that actively seeks to entertain, then I highly encourage you to experience Three.

By no means is it a perfect film, there are certainly shortcomings....as with many films....but for a small budget film, the performances, by largely a novice cast, are authentic and the voice of the director certainly refreshing.

It gets a 10 from me for the team's ambition, throwback to a more mature vintage horror film, and genuine belief in supporting the underdog.

I had the pleasure of watching the movien at the Red sea mall cinemas during the RSFF. I went in not expecting much but to my surprise, it exceeded my expectations. The storyline is very interesting, its relatable to the middle eastern culture. I especially liked how it succeeded to make a point about mental health without offending our Arab culture and religious believes. Apart from that, I really enjoyed some of the more laid back scenes. Going in, I didnt expect to be laughing in a horror film but the film did include some humorous lines that were just right. I encourage you to watch this movie with an open mind.

A heartfelt thank you to the UAE for gifting us this cinematic gem. Their contribution to the world of horror has left audiences globally captivated and on the edge of their seats. Gratitude to the creators who crafted this masterpiece, showcasing the power of international storytelling in the realm of fear and suspense.

"Prepare to be on the edge of your seat with this chilling horror masterpiece. From spine-tingling suspense to heart-pounding scares, this film weaves a gripping tale that will haunt your dreams. A must-watch for horror enthusiasts craving an adrenaline rush - it's a cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
