Horror Vault's take
Set against the stylish backdrop of 1960s Egypt, this Arabic-language series follows Dr. Refaat Ismail, a sharp-minded hematologist whose rational worldview is repeatedly shaken by encounters with forces he cannot explain. Each episode draws him deeper into cases involving curses, myths, and the unexplained, while a reunion with a former Scottish love adds an emotional undercurrent to the chaos. Rooted in beloved Egyptian literary source material, the show blends period drama atmosphere with genuine supernatural dread. It stands as a landmark production in Arabic genre television.
