Dachra

An investigation into witchcraft leads a trio of journalism students to a mysterious town marked by sinister rituals. Inspired by true events, director Abdelhamid Bouchnak weaves together North African folklore and the tried-and-true B-movie magic that made his debut a runaway hit in his home country. Channeling both Midsommar and The Blair Witch Project, this carefully calibrated narrative is carried by strong lead performances and genre-expanding ethereal dread.
