ACHOURA is an old fashioned monster movie that concentrates on the human evils and ignorance that mirror those of the fantasy world and how human beings must sooner or later reckon with those evils and cannot put off that reckoning forever.

Rue Morgue Magazine

Using a flash-forward, flash-back structure, Selhami effectively builds tension and a sense of confusion.

Screen Rant

Selhami's directing, paired with Mathieu de Montgrand's cinematography, transports viewers to Morocco, offering pure joy & unfathomable darkness.

Rated: 3/5

Josh Bell

Crooked Marquee

The story is clumsy and disjointed, haphazardly jumping between time periods, and its exploration of generational trauma never really lands.

Rated: C+

Cinema Crazed

Achoura is a film more than worth checking out, but expectations on the cgi need to be on the lower side.

Rated: 4/5
