The movie opens with a gut wrenching scene and slowly fades into igniting the curiosity of the viewer. A Saudi girl with some issues of her (or they would become spoilers) has a date which proves to be a hell of a ride for the memory. The cinematography is excellent. Not even for one second you can doubt that it is not a Hollywood level flick. The angles add to the story and so does the creepy and eerie music that gets under the skin. In the middle of the movie, the film does begin to drag a little but the last quarter of the movie is a refreshing part in itself.

The cast did a very honest job. The vfx shine. I really wish more of such great films come out of the kingdom. 7/10.

I saw very bad reviews about this movie and I was disappointed, but when I watched it I enjoyed it and was a little scared.

The scenario was good, but the directing was not at the required level, but that's okay, we're still learning, and I think sometimes it's not necessary for the story to represent society or its issues. Let us leave room for some creativity and exploration of other fields. The actors appeared at a good level and the scenario was realistic, even if some describe it as bad. Unfortunately, the music was annoying in many of the shots, but in the end this is considered a good start for Saudi drama.

The movie is about a girl who despite a curfew and controlling parents, decides to attend a party with her boyfriend in a camp in the middle of nowhere.

As a person from Iran, I was very curious about this movie as didn't know much about Saudi's. After watching, to me at least, this movie showed that despite our politicians' intentions, we have pretty similar beliefs and fears, and our societies are not much different. The movie has almost everything: thrill, horror, drama and mystery, but makers tried to not just scare or thrill, but also address some other issues, like honor killings and controlling parents, which some of them may not make sense for western viewers, but they are extremely familiar for the people from other countries in the region, problems which we hope and pray that would solve soon.

So while I liked the movie, I reckon that it is kind of unusual movie, I hope to see more from my Saudi buddies in the future.

Meshal Aljaser definitely has a vision with this story as the narrative and concept is an interesting idea about culture, freedom and so forth but unfortunately, despite some really good visual scenarios and a pretty good performance from the main actress, the sloppy structure of the narrative, messy camerawork, and uninteresting characters causes the movie to feel disjointed and unfulfilling.

Saudi Arabian cinema is something I have seen much from and I like to explore new films from Middle East but there are some good moments but the messy writing and lack of emotional connection to the characters made the movie more dull and boring to observe. Aljaser's direction is doing his best but it seems there is a lot more missing than fully achieved.

For many times for watched movies and experienced in cinema movies, this is the weirdest Movie that I have seen in My entire life.

Meshal Aljaser (the director) I know him that he makes other movies short on YouTube and He makes them weird.

The story of this movie is unknown the Idea of this movie I Do not know what is it?

The Visual effect Is annoying and Is a Distraction from the movie.

The cast was good at acting: The protagonist Adwa Bader will have a good future in acting.

The sounds were excellent.

The picture of life in Riyadh was perfect.

My rate is good for watch ones. And for the first time well done.
