Directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury Summon ‘Kandisha’ in Shudder’s Supernatural Slasher [Trailer]

“When invoked, she demands the lives of six men.”

Up next from Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury (Inside, Livid, Leatherface) is the Candyman-esque supernatural chiller Kandisha, which is headed to Shudder later this month.

The Shudder Original premieres July 22. Find the trailer below, via io9.

In Kandisha, “It is summer break and best friends Amélie, Bintou and Morjana 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.”

Mathilde Lamusse, Samarcande Saadi and Suzy Bemba star.

Meagan wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “This supernatural slasher may not offer anything new, but it does keep you entertained thanks to its characters, a fantastic looking entity, and some bone-crushing, ultra-violent deaths.”
