The Vile (arabische OmeU) // Fantasy Filmfest Nights

In the organizer's words:

The Vile

When Khalid suddenly appears on the doorstep with a second wife, Amani and her teenage daughter Noor are horrified. But when the pregnant Zahra moves in, something sinister and devilish takes up residence in their home. Who is this mysterious woman who has cast such a submissive spell over Khalid - and is now using unscrupulous means to manipulate her daughter? While Amani is tormented by increasingly terrifying visions, Noor is also shaken up by a chain of nightmarish experiences. Soon mother and daughter are no longer just fighting for their dignity, but for sheer survival.

Director Majid Al Ansari lets the uncanny seep so quietly into familiar spaces that you hardly recognize your own retreats. A nerve-wracking horror thriller that interweaves cultural reality and supernatural threat so closely that nothing is predictable.
