CGiii Comment

How can you not not go and see an Egyptian,1981, remake/rip-off of Rocky Horror - minus all the sex and drag - it's a no-brainer!

We expected...terrible...and, terrible it was. Truly, truly terrible...but, madly entertaining! The audience were whooping with glee for the first 30 minutes or so...and then, as the story veered from the familiar and plummeted into the depths of monotony, the audience were muted for a while...only to be resurrected when the familiar Rocky-ish themes returned to the screen. The end heralded an enthusiastic applause...not quite sure why!?! Because this travesty had come to an end...or, for a genuine appreciation of something so bad it ought to be applauded!

An un-missable curiosity...a once-in-a-lifetime experience! If you believe that...you'll believe anything!

The(ir) Blurb...

Anyab is a true embodiment of a lost classic. An Egyptian remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show from 1981, Mohammed Shebl completely reinvents Richard O'Brien's classic, refocussing his efforts on a horde of flamboyant vampires who enjoy nothing more than a wee sing-a-long. Cue grandiose disco-inspired Egyptian dance numbers, incredible set pieces and a cast who are clearly having an absolute riot: Anyab is the perfect late night B-movie. Those of a nervous disposition may find some scenes upsetting... others may find some scenes downright hilarious!
