Mohammed Shebl, 1981, Egypt, 100 min
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 isn’t just a cult classic, Fangs (Anyab) is also an astute commentary on the Egyptian socio-political climate all wrapped up in disco, glam, and vampire fangs! -- Cultpix
