Saudi-owned production house MBC Studios has announced its new lineup of Saudi film and TV projects toplined by high-end horror film Travellers’ Hell, which is slated for theatrical release in the MENA region this year, reports Variety.
The Saudi chiller is based on a best-selling book by Saudi author Osamah Almuslim and directed by Hana Al Omair, who helmed Netflix’s first Saudi original series Whispers.
“On a desolate mountain road known as the hunting ground for a notorious serial killer, a young woman picks up a stranded motorist,” says the synopsis. “What begins as a simple act of kindness soon spirals into a nightmare, as their journey becomes a terrifying fight for survival, with dark secrets and danger lurking at every turn.”
MBC Studios is also adapting another Almuslim horror novel titled Spider’s Web into a feature film, with production expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2026. “The story follows a group of Saudi female students in Riyadh who suspect their mysterious neighbour is involved in dangerous activities before uncovering a darker secret,” per the synopsis.
