About This Movie

Days of Horror (1988) is a gritty drama-thriller that captures the tension of a man on the run in a stark, unforgiving landscape. Mahrous, trying to build a new life, is constantly shadowed by the threat of Aweida's return, creating this palpable sense of dread. The pacing ebbs and flows, reflecting Mahrous's internal turmoil, and the atmosphere is thick with tension, making every moment feel loaded. What stands out is how it explores themes of vengeance and the impact of one's past on the present, all wrapped in a raw, almost documentary-like style. Performances are striking, especially the nuanced portrayal of Mahrous, whose desperation is tangible. Practical effects add gritty realism, though they aren't overdone, letting the story breathe amidst the horror of his situation.
