Egyptian Horror Film Ammar Enters the Editing Room


After pausing due to the COVID-19 crisis, the horror-thriller film Ammar by director Mahmoud Kamel has started its post-production phase. The shooting was completely finished before the pandemic and the shutdown of movie theaters. The film is set to release in theaters soon.

A misfortunate family, a couple with three children, moves to the Gharibs' Castle as their new house. Their excitement soon wears off when the house swallows them one after the other, taking them to a horrifying world of past crimes that took place between its walls...or maybe these cursed walls are behind these crimes.

Directed by Mahmoud Kamel, and co-written by Ahmed Al-Dahan and Haitham Al-Dahan, Ammar stars Sherif Salama and Eman El Assi. The film is produced by Nilewood and distributed in the Arab world by MAD Solutions.

Ammar marks the second collaboration between director Mahmoud Kamel and actor Sherif Salama after Al Seham Al Mariqa TV series. It also marks Salama's and actress Eman El Assi's second collaboration after Maklab Haramiya.
