One cannot refute the revolution that the advent of mobile phones sparked, but there is another side to the cellular story it holds all of one's intimate secrets, as we see in Netflix's first Arabic original film, “As-hab wala A'az” or Perfect Strangers.

Axar.az reports that first created in Italian in 2016 with the same title, it has been remade 18 times in different countries such as France, Germany, Spain, Greece and South Korea a stellar record for a seemingly simple premise. What is more, the movie grossed $270 million worldwide. So, the Arabic edition arrived on Netflix this week with a lot of expectations.

The latest film captures the fear that the small gadget can open a Pandora's Box of intimate secrets. On the face of it, the story seems harmless enough with seven friends gathering for dinner and deciding to a playa strange sort of game. But the plot soon veers into the disturbing, with skeletons and secrets making their way out into the open, including the sorts of details one does not usually want to discuss at a dinner table.
