Archai

Archai is a folk horror film that evokes fantastic and esoteric themes. It features elements of genre cinema, but also references European cinema that, in recent years, has managed to blend genre with auteurism. It is a film aimed at a specific audience, passionate about unsettling and oppressive atmospheres and themes related to a cosmic horror with a Lovecraftian influence.
