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!

I stumbled upon "THREE" at The Red Sea International Film Festival, and what a captivating ride it turned out to be! This unique exploration of Islamic exorcism had me on the edge of my seat, especially the spine-chilling use of cotton that added a whole new layer to the narrative.

Breaking away from the typical horror clichés, "THREE" dives deep into psychological storytelling, steering clear of predictable scares and excessive gore. The cinematography is absolutely stunning, though there were moments when performances wavered a bit. Yet, the film gracefully maintained its essence throughout.

The twist at the end was a masterstroke, leaving me pleasantly surprised. My only wish was for a bit more exploration of the intricate mother-son relationship. Jefferson Hall's portrayal, although deliberately uneasy, fit the film's tone well.

In a nutshell, "THREE" delivers a unique take on exorcism with an unexpected ending that sets it apart from other films. I would however say it was more a phycological drama than a horror film (but two scenes were quiet scary).

First of all I was blown away by the quality of the production: the cinematography, directing, acting and sound design and music were all too tier. I went in not expecting much, but to my surprise the film really delivered. The story was interesting, the acting engaging and the twist at the end was the cherry on top. For those who are saying it was boring they are using films like the new exorcists to compare it with. This is an intelligent film that doesn't rely on jump scares. I find people who are rating this anything below 5 bitter, they are not supportive of independent cinema, and this is definitely a step up from the movies we usually see from this region in terms of the quality of production. Don't let such reviews take you away. Go, watch and form your own opinions and remember to always support female filmmakers in the region.

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.
