Exclusive: Pierre Morel-directed action movie Al Kameen (The Ambush) has just become the highest-grossing Emirati or Arabic-language film ever in the UAE after posting a mammoth opening weekend relative to the market.

That “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” street cred is still serving Tobe Hooper pretty well, though the director hasn’t really done a whole lot of note in a while. The only film of his I’ve seen since was 2004′s “Toolbox Murders”, which I liked, though it really wasn’t anything innovative. He’s also directed some episodes of the cable horror show “Masters of Horror”, but he’s been pretty quiet since. Hooper’s latest in over 6 years is the desert-set “Djinn”. I don’t recognize any of the faces in the cast, but setting a horror movie in one of those ridiculously opulent Middle Eastern hotels should go a long way. Check out the first extended trailer for Tobe Hooper’s “Djinn” below. An Emirati couple return home from a trip and discover that their new apartment has been built on a site that is home to some malevolent beings.
