I have to give credit to whoever re-edited the new Curse of Mesopotamia trailer. It looks like a completely different film, one that looks much more interesting with themes of demons, slashers and reincarnation on display. The new official trailer, provided for you below, deserves a watch for content but also because it announces the addition of Malek Akkad as executive producer. Malek Akkad is the son of prolific Halloween director Moustapha Akkad and he has continued his father’s legacy by working on the Rob Zombie remakes and other titles such as The Violent Kind and Free Fall. If he put his stamp of approval and business savvy on Curse of Mesopotamia, you know it has to be a hit in the making!
Curse of Mesopotamia is written and directed by Lauand Omar. The film stars Hania Amar, Kaoutar Boudarraja, Terrell Carter, Ahmad M. Massad, Melissa Mars, Mauricio Rousselon, Karim Saidi, Stacy Thunes and Ana Sinclair.
Official Synopsis: Five strangers are brought together with only one thing in common, nightly visits by a demon in a nightmare so disturbing it has affected their everyday lives. When their common psychiatrist suggests group therapy in a location similar to the place they keep seeing in their daily nightmare, US Army Soldier and divorced Father John is not keen to the idea. When John realizes that his little daughter has started to suffer from the same night terrors, he joins the psychiatrist and the other patients on the trip to Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan. Once at the old castle, dream and reality start to become one. John soon realizes that their arrival was not a coincidence. They are all reincarnations of key figures that played a role in 600 B.C. during the revolution that made Kawa a hero and that created Newroz. The Demon has lured them back to change history and to stop Kawa. The brutal fight for survival starts, again.
