ABOUT THE FILM Fangs (Anyab) (1981, DCP, 100m, Arabic, w/ English Subtitles) dir Mohammed Shebl) Egypt’s answer to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this delirious musical-horror oddity follows two innocent lovers who stumble into a nightclub of disco-dancing vampires, rock ‘n’ roll numbers, and campy bloodsucking mayhem. Cairo meets Transylvania in a cult curio that’s equal parts satire, singalong, and surreal nightmare. Mohammed Shebl’s 1981 adaptation of isn’t just a cult classic, Anyab (Fangs) is an astute commentary on the Egyptian socio-political climate all wrapped up in disco, glam and vampire fangs!
