The Cello (2023)
6/10
Saudi Horror Flick

Warning: Spoilers
I saw The Cello, starring Samer Ismail-Breaking Bones_tv, The Worthy; Elham Ali-Heart Crime_tv, Whispers_tv; Tobin Bell-the Saw movies, The Quick and the Dead and Jeremy Irons-Justice League, Die Hard With a Vengeance.

This is a horror movie that was made in Saudi Arabia and the Czech Republic. It uses both Arabic language-with sub titles-and English language. Samer plays a cello and wants to play in a big symphony but hasn't had his big break yet. Elham plays his encouraging girlfriend. Samer hears about a shop that sells unique instruments and decides to go and check it out. Tobin is the owner of the shop-nothing suspicious there-and sells Samer the cello, but doesn't tell him about the instrument's haunted past. Jeremy plays a music conductor that fills Samer in on the details of the cello, which includes it's origin from the 1700's and why it makes people that hear it being played-except for whomever is playing it-suddenly have murderous fits of rage and start killing other people.

It's rated R for bloody violence, grisly images and language and has a running time of 2 hours.

It's a little uneven in parts, so I don't think I would buy it on DVD but it would be alright to stream.
