Kandisha
Directed by Julien Maury, Alexandre Bustillo
It is summer break and best friends Amélie, Bintou and Morjana hang together with the neighborhood teenagers. At night, they have fun sharing goosebumps stories and urban legends. But when Amélie is assaulted by her ex, she remembers the story of Kandisha, a powerful and vengeful demon. Afraid and upset, she summons her. The next day, her ex is found dead. The legend is true and now Kandisha is on a killing spree. The three girls will do anything to break the curse. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.
Three childhood friends invoke the spirit of Kandisha, a vengeful creature from a Moroccan legend. The game turns into a nightmare when their loved ones tragically disappear. The young girls will then do all they can to try to counter this evil creature.
Cast: Mériem Sarolie, Mathilde La Musse, Suzy Bemba, Samarcande Saadi

Fantastic. Worth watching.
This was a pretty good movie. Loved the mix of cultures, but do French teens really listen to American Rap? LOL
Delivered. Interestingly, the Native Americans also have a similar entity in their folklore, the Hoof or Deer Lady. There’s also the La Diablesse in creole Caribbean folklore (which could potentially be related to the Kandisha due to the French and African influence).
👍
Pretty decent horror movie. I liked the inclusion of an urban legend from a different country.
