It’s summer break and best friends Amélie (Mathilde Lamusse), Bintou (Suzy Bemba), and Morjana (Samarcande Saadi) 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.
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.
Directed by Inside and Livid duo Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, Kandisha will stream exclusively to Shudder on 22nd July in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as via the Shudder offering within the AMC+ bundle where available.
