The Black magic: An aesthetic analysis of its illustration in the sociohorteur film: Dachra (original) (raw)

Throughout history the black magic has always been treated as an ugly and frightening human folklore in many cultures. This negative depiction suffers from a bad reputation even today, due to its distinction with mysterious and suspicious practices that have been implicated upon them. This has been a point of contention that transcends beyond religious and ethnic differences. The bias beyond even the discussion around the topic may push the interlocutors to ask: what if such an international taboo subject is treated through a motion picture? Would its reception be any easier? And how would a horror film by an auteur film director treat social issues at the same time? Will there be a difference in the reception of the film by its potentially conflicting audiences? Would this fact positively influence its distribution? We will try to answer all those questions through our article on film Dachra made by Abdelhamid Bouchnak.
