About Abu Al-layl
(Abu Al-Layl) is a mysterious person who wears a mask on his face and no one knows who he is. He moves with a dog and completely controls the people of a town, and makes them carry out what he orders them to do whatever it is, because of their intense fear of him and the only one who can communicate with (Abu Al-Layl) whenever she wants She is (Duha) because of an affair between them, and (Ahmed) tries to do everything in his power to find out who (Abu Al-Layl) is and rid the town of its evils.
Directed by Hossam El Dine Mostafa, Abu Al-layl leans on a strong ensemble — Samia Gamal, Ahmed Ramzy, Zizi El-Badrawy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1960.
