Bahraini cinema hits a high note as the short horror film Convoluted heads to Screamfest in Los Angeles this October. Directed by Mohammed Fareed and starring Ibrahim Al-Bairawi, this film is a rare gem in Bahraini cinema, delving into psychological horror with impressive VFX and a budget over $70,000.
Produced by Blue Steel Films, the project includes contributions from Fareed, Mohammed Fakhro, Mohammed Sultan, Zohaib Lateef, and Abdulaziz Al-Tamimi.
The film tells the story of a person who, after a horrific accident, seeks refuge in a maze of shrubs, unaware that worse is yet to come. This festival participation marks a significant step forward for Bahraini cinema.
