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).
