Shudder Releases New Trailer for Demonic Folklore Horror ‘Kandisha’

Check out the new trailer for demonic folklore horror, Kandisha. This film was directed by Inside and Livid duo Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo. It stars Mathilde Lamusse, Samarcande Saadi, and Suzy Bemba. Described as a stylish and gory take on the Morrocan folk legend of the vengeful female demon Aicha Kandicha set against the scene of modern-day Paris, Kandisha is the latest brutal feature from the filmmaking team at the forefront of the wave of New French Extremity cinema.

Synopsis for Kandisha

It’s summer break and best friends Amélie, Bintou and Morjana hang together with other neighborhood teens. Nightly, they have fun sharing scary 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, Amélie summons her. The next day, her ex is found dead. The legend is true and now Kandisha is on a killing spree— and it’s up to the three girls to break the curse.

This film will stream exclusively to Shudder on July 22 in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as via the Shudder offering within the AMC+ bundle where available.
