Remember the time when your mom used to scare you with Um Hamar? Hamad Abdulla, a Bahraini filmmaker turned this folklore into a short film named ‘Hooves’ and aims to showcase it at the biggest international festivals!
Hooves is a short horror film that is based on “Um Hamaar” a mythological creature that scared me during my childhood.

We can’t number how many times young children in Bahrain went to bed because of her story!
What’s the story?
In short, this mythical being is told to be an old woman that roams around in Bahrain and takes misbehaving kids away from the street. She’s told to be half human and half donkey and wears a black abaya which scared the kids so much, they’d start behaving!
