Roqia

Ruqaya's hands tremble as she discovers an old amulet box in her family home's attic. Inside are scrolls with ancient incantations and a photograph of a woman whose features mirror her own. Now, her nights fill with whispers in a forgotten language, and mirrors catch a shadow that mimics her movements a second too late. Her friend Layla, a folklore researcher, initially laughs at the superstitions, but when windows begin opening by themselves and damp handprints appear on the walls, it becomes clear — what has been awakened does not wish to let go. This 2025 horror film explores a generational curse through the lens of modern urban life, where ancient evil finds new pathways in the digital age. The narrative builds through slow-burn paranoia, where one's own reflection becomes the primary antagonist, and the line between reality and nightmare dissolves with each passing day.
