From Egypt, "122" is a watchable horror film that does little to make itself memorable. Revolving around a young couple whose life is rife with drama, the film finds the couple trapped in a location that should be a paragon of safety. The story quickly dispenses with the couple's dramatic layers and rolls through most of its running time as a cat and mouse thriller dressed in dread and blood. Small-scale, the production is dressed in evocative tension and danger, but some performances are not on board with the film's overarching tone. It is a solid outing whose charms are not long lasting.

First time watching an Egyptian horror movie, there are some interesting twists, but unfortunately the overall story is not that fascinating. Wis there could be better planned logic and details. Appreciate the inclusion of a deaf character and a couple's fighting for survival,.

الوحيد الي شاف شغله في الفلم المصور والإضاءة ، والكاتب نسى النسخة المزبوطة من السكربت في البيت والمخرج كان نعسان، وانا اتفرجت الفلم عشان محمد ممدوح وشفت كل الناس إلا محمد ممدوح.

في أول ٥ دقايق إذا احساسك قال غير الفلم اسمع الكلام

Nice and violent Egyptian Horror film that is sure to please all the blood thirsty maniacs out there. The main characters did some dumb shit, but come on, it’s a horror movie! Real nice cinematography. Recommended.

Top of box office in Egypt for 30 days in a row.

The first Egyptian film ever to be made for 4DX Format. (don’t know much about it but 4DX sounds exciting!)

لو الفيلم كمل رومانسي وابتعد عن الرعب كان ممكن يطلع شيء جيد

Egyptian horror movie...just too many instances of why would you do that.

فيلم ابن متناكه ده الملخص يعني

After some failed attempts in the past I was curious to see if the thriller/horror Genre has improved in egyptian cinema.

It definitely has not.

cast: 5/10
story: 8/10
visuals: 6/10
music: 5/10
panache: 2/10

notes: some of these people should not, medically, have been alive as long as they were in this movie. but honestly for the sake of badassery, i don't care about logic this time around.

That was alright actually. Better than I expected. A pretty low budget 'TCM in a partially closed hospital' film that, while it did run out of ideas and was a little far-fetched towards the end, was still pretty engaging.

The main couple had a charm together and I liked that she was deaf but without it really being used as a big key plotpoint. (Other then her constantly taking her hearing-aid out every 10 minutes to fix the batteries).

Won't change the world but it's fun to see horror films made outside the traditional movie countries.

مع انه بسيط و قصته عاديه و مبتذله لكنه حلو جدا ولازم نشجع افلام ال thriller والچانرز النادره في مصر
مش عارف ليه بصراحه مش عاجب بعض الناس لكنه عمل ممتاز تقنيا في شويه عيوب اخراجيه لكن الإخراج و التصوير ممتازين
فيلم بسيط لكنه جميل جدا

A really cliché, pretty poorly acted, easily forgettable Egyptian slasher/horror.

The story doesn't feel natural at all, it's like they had 3 basic idea's in their head and just tried filling in the blanks as much as possible to connect the dots.

worst possible execution for this idea

Following a car accident, a couple ends up in a horror hospital.

Fairly straightforward thriller in terms of setup and execution, outside of the Egyptian setting which is nice to see, but it's executed in as capable way as it needs to, offering up a few decent sequences that keep you into it. The performances are all pretty solid, with the central couple's relationship coming across as sweet and genuine which makes everything around it work much more effectively.

First under the shadow from iran and now this egyptian horror? Nice.

A very basic thriller.  There are a couple of cultural things that don’t transition well, but There more to this than to so that it’s lacking.  There are interesting concepts here that go absolutely no where.  And they’re pretty central to the plot,  so that’s kind of problematic.  If you just want to watch a movie from Egypt, this is competent enough.  But I’m sure there’s better options out there.

Cinematography and SFX.
Nothing more.
