	Media	Author	Review
		Phil Hoad The Guardian	"The French postcolonial movie goes all the way to full horror in this raw but forceful banlieue-set film which draws equal inspiration from Candyman and Moroccan fireside folklore (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Natalia Keogan Paste Magazine	"Its superb grasp of tension and earnest attempt to grapple with the cross-cultural implications of the Moroccan folktale absolutely warrants a watch."
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	Basically, this film has some wild kill scenes (...) but somehow it never felt that scary to me (...) This film had a lot of potential and is worth watching. It could just have been a lot better (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jake Dee JoBlo	"The film doesn’t till new territory so much as rivet and renovate the old by introducing a nasty new folkloric horror villain that comes with well-executed visual panache "
