In the Name of Fire

About This Movie

In the Name of Fire weaves a haunting narrative of survival and spirituality in the rural landscape of Manorva village. The film’s atmosphere is thick with desperation, as Rukhiya and Phekan navigate their meager existence against a backdrop of eerie Kirtan melodies. The slow pacing immerses you in their struggles, allowing the tension to build almost palpably. It’s interesting how the horror elements emerge subtly, intertwined with their daily rituals and the encroaching darkness of their circumstances. Performances are raw and grounded—especially the portrayal of Rukhiya, who shines through her resilience. The practical effects used to evoke the supernatural are understated yet effective, enhancing the unsettling tone without overshadowing the story. It’s a grueling, yet deeply reflective experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
