Overview

Desperate to put the traumatic loss of their infant child behind them, newlywed couple Khalid and Salama return to their home in the United Arab Emirates. Unknown to the couple, their new luxury apartment block, Al Hamra, was built on the site of an old abandoned fishing village of the same name. Legend has it the village was abandoned after malevolent beings haunted its inhabitants. Unsettled by her new surroundings and the eerie hallways of Al Hamra, Khalid worries his wife is failing to battle her personal demons – but could it be something far more sinister?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A slow-burn haunting that uses the sterile architecture of a modern luxury tower and the psychological fracture of grief to create mounting dread. The film interweaves personal trauma with supernatural threat, leaving you uncertain what is real loss and what is malevolent presence.
