Description

Ever since she was discovered naked and near-dead decades ago, Mongia has been institutionalized, with a tendency to bite her nurses. Grisly, frightening, and stuffed with howling thrills, the new Tunisian horror film DACHRA won over both Frightfest and the Venice Film Festival and is finally making its stateside debut. Equal parts Midsommar and The Blair Witch Project, DACHRA begins with a simple classroom assignment and spins through double plot twists into high-tension cannibal sorcery. Sent off with a documentary video assignment, three journalism students decide to interview Mongia, seeking new clues about the cold case. Intrigued and perturbed by the deranged woman’s story, the trio take their camera to the scene of the crime deep in the woods, led by the headstrong young investigator Yassmine (scream queen par excellence Yassmine Dimassi). Soon they are welcomed to a secluded, hushed village where goats have free rein and raw meat hangs drying in the wind. Captured with a minimalist color palette in Hatem Nechi’s eerie and atmospheric compositions and uncanny long takes, this foggy, isolated hamlet is the creepiest location in recent horror cinema. Daring depths of barbarity—and some seriously scary children—are around every corner. With superlative craft, first-time 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. DACHRA maintains a high level of suspense and sophistication with its carefully calibrated narrative, strong performances, and its genre-expanding ethereal dread.

    Ok movie

    I thought this movie would be great, but it was way too slow and the ending felt kind of random. Honestly, I didn’t enjoy it. It does maintain a certain atmosphere, but something felt missing. Even the characters don’t really get fully developed. It’s okay for a one-time watch, but I wouldn’t revisit it.

    I don´t get the comparison to Blair Witch except that it´s a group of three students. Where Glair Witch was a bit of a sleeping pill with a camera operating on it´s own

    this had lots of atmosphere and great performances from the actors. Someone used the camera, it wasn´t operating on it´s own.

    Creepy, gory and scary.

    Highly recommended

    If Tom Hooper made a Blair Witch movie with a little more money

    Sure, there are some tropes present, but this film makes up for it plenty in atmosphere. All the actors were very good and I can't believe this only cost 80k to make. Lots of nasty gore and some twists I didn't see coming. It's also got a pretty memorably creepy kid and impressive cinematography

    Superb Tunisian horror

    One of my purchases during the recent VS Halfway to Black Friday sale. It is a Tunisian horror film from 2018 and is an absolutely brilliant film, very atmospheric and creepy, with folk horror type elements, and a great ending. One of the best modern horror films I have seen. Although I was only able to purchase the standard edition (the limited edition slipcover run having long since sold out), I was lucky enough to find the slipcover alone at a very reasonable price on a certain well-known online auction/purchase site. There are under 200 copies of the standard edition left in stock now - buy it while it’s still available. Comes with an excellent, very informative booklet. Please note it is a Region A release, so if you’re outside the U.S./Canada you need a multiregion player to be able to view the disc.
