Overview

Dachra is Tunisia's first horror film, directed by Abdelhamid Bouchnak, and a landmark for North African genre cinema. Three journalism students set out to film an investigation into strange rumors surrounding a remote, seemingly abandoned village — and what they find is far worse than any story they imagined. The film unfolds in found-footage style, plunging its characters into macabre witchcraft, ritualistic violence, disturbing cannibalism, and a mounting sense of dread that never lets up. Dachra announced itself as a serious horror entry on the international stage while rooting its terror firmly in Tunisian folklore and mythology.
