Excellent movie. Very tribal references very different from what we used to see In that sort of movies.

Totally, the movie is good. I liked the story and the cast's acting but a point to review is the useless use of the bad words that was not necessary.

The concept was good but nothing new, most turkish horror movies rely on the same pattern. A slow pace direction with less stupid characters, might make it worth a watch.

Ok, so it is different cinematography, but how different seriously now? I do get it, we have to encourage foreigners to do their best and show us their vision, which usually differs from the common Hollywood productions, or in my case African vs European. But all in all, for me, it was a familiar production, one very easily to anticipate, the only struggle I had with this movie was trying to understand the characters: all they do is fight yet we suppose to somehow feel they are a team.

After you watch this you will realize that not only it was very difficult to root for them, but they did the very absolute in taking the wrong decisions throughout the entire movie. So if I can not relate to them or even sparkle some empathy, why even go with these characters? After this first set back, we have the plot itself: well clearly not original in any way, I do understand the themes explored here, but the development is weak, far stretched and annoyingly boring.

For the first Tunisian horror ever, I will grade it a 4 thanks to the effort and courage into making it, but that is it. It showed nothing new, different, it was a movie I've seen it 1000 times only longer and more frustrating. A lot of the scenes could have been cut off and if the movie would have proved to be a huge success, perhaps added in the director's cut. But they have no place here, and as the run time is close to 2h, perhaps less quantity and more quality. Also...the plot itself is weird and non sense at time, as a lot of the things presented on screen either make no other appearance or no difference later on.

Anyway sadly I can not recommend it whatsoever as it is a difficult watch, even for those that want to put an eye on a different type of cinema, simply expect nothing than a movie which will seem to last for at least 3 hours.

Cheers!

Yes I know and you probably know, that in order for most horror movies to work, the characters can not be smart when it comes to decision making. The characters here though seem to go out of their way to always decide the most blatant illogical and just plain bad decision that is at their disposal.

It's cringe-worthy to say the least. And even the twists cannot save this. Not to mention that especially the one towards the end is just completely ... out there. It takes everything you've seen and shoves it down the chimney ... or drain or whatever else makes sense to you. There is some slight atmosphere this can create which is the only reason I don't rate it lower ... but overall this is reaching and almost an insult to any movie and horror afficionado
