Review of Dachra

Dachra (2018)
6/10
Promising effort
11 April 2024
Horror films aren't expected to be highly rated, and this wasn't a bad effort in this genre. The one fault I would say is the character development. What little there is of it just made the characters seem like they don't really get along very well, but they are supposed to be close.

Also, as pointed out by many reviews, it's just lazy to have the characters in a horror film always make poor decisions, or be oblivious to danger.

If the characters would have been better developed, and seen as getting along very well along with some jovial insults, instead of constant annoying bickering, the twist at the end would have had more impact.

Witchcraft is a thing in Africa, and it is scary. Tunisia is in North Africa, so it means something different to them. In the West, this type of thing is usually portrayed as devil worship.

All the other aspects such as atmosphere and cinematography were very good. I'd watch this film maker's next effort, he has promise.
