Roqia

About This Movie

Roqia weaves two haunting narratives that draw you into a deep, unsettling atmosphere. The present-day storyline, where a disciple grapples with his master's dementia, is laced with dread—like a slow burn that makes you feel the weight of unspoken fears. Then there's Ahmed’s journey in 1992, navigating a village that feels foreign, amplifying themes of identity and memory. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build organically. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding authenticity to the horror elements. Performances feel raw and genuine, grounding it amidst the supernatural. It’s that blend of personal and cultural horror that really sets it apart, haunting you long after the credits roll.

Interesting take on cultural horror and memory.Strong performances, especially in emotional moments.Atmospheric cinematography enhances the unsettling tone.
