ACHOURA is an old fashioned monster movie that concentrates on the human evils and ignorance that mirror those of the fantasy world and how human beings must sooner or later reckon with those evils and cannot put off that reckoning forever.

Using a flash-forward, flash-back structure, Selhami effectively builds tension and a sense of confusion.

3/5

Selhami's directing, paired with Mathieu de Montgrand's cinematography, transports viewers to Morocco, offering pure joy & unfathomable darkness.

C+

The story is clumsy and disjointed, haphazardly jumping between time periods, and its exploration of generational trauma never really lands.

4/5

Achoura is a film more than worth checking out, but expectations on the cgi need to be on the lower side.

Has a really nice and spooky atmosphere for our intro, and now something unexpected is happening with our characters. We've an interesting development, and some rather bizarre behavior rearing is ugly head. Oh, it is getting exciting now, and things are falling into place with our characters and their terrifying past. This has everything a Folk Horror fan could ever want in a film, and being a Foreign Film just makes it that much more special.
