Ahmed Amin in “Paranormal” on Netflix.
(Batool Al Daawi)
A mummy, desert ghouls and a child ghost all populate this clever, darkly comic horror anthology, Netflix’s first Egyptian series and one of the first series of its kind to come out of the Middle East. Set in late-1960s Cairo, the six episodes follow hematology professor Refaat Ismail (Ahmed Amin), a chain-smoking cynic who believes only in what science can prove. He does, however, believe he’s the unluckiest man on Earth, partly because he’s haunted by a parade of otherworldly entities. “Paranormal’s” tales are largely based in regional lore, lending a unique perspective to this Arabic-language series. But it’s Refaat’s hilariously dry narration and fatalistic internal monologue that bring this creep show to life, no matter what language you speak. (Available on: Netflix)
