#KinematografiaShqiptare The scariest scenes in Albanian films. World cinematography has a genre of its own with films of the horror genre, "Horror", films which are followed by quite a few people all over the world who like this topic. However, in Albania it was not applied, no film was ever made, especially from this genre, although if we recall the Kinostudio films we have seen, there are some films with scary scenes. What are the most frightening scenes or moments in Albanian films that were created by screenwriters, directors and performed by our actresses (without forgetting the excellent work of those who worked on the manipulation of the characters)? A regular, passionate follower of Albanian cinema, may remember some scenes from our films, but of course in the foreground are two of those that have more such scary, disturbing scenes (of course not to the extreme of a horror): "Dead Army General" and "Former Emblem"! Let's start with "Emblem" The film that in the first minutes opens with a dark dirty night, lightning and torrential rain. Someone knocks violently with a stick several times on the heavy gate of a parish. The watchman, who lives completely alone, goes to the gate with a lantern in his hand to see who the visitor is on this night of nightmare………a hand hits him and he collapses dead. 
Then the screen shows the testimony of a 100-year-old woman (whose role is played by the great artist Ms. Tinka Kurti): "I'm old, don't let me lie. I'm very old, even the horses don't recognize me… I remember with these eyes the flame of Trifon Rrogoz when he woke up the spoons from Xheladin Bey kentes time and time again until he got tired and passed out. 
….. Some men with black hoods? I can remember them! They were foreigners, with other languages. 
"The Black Hoods" !!! Four enigmatic characters in the movie "Emblem e kurshme" whose script evokes a kind of fear. On a dark night with bad weather and torrential rain, four people with capes and black hoods suddenly appear near a Hani!!!! One of them is looking for a lantern…..just like in Alfred Hitchcock's "thriller" movies! 
Two of the four "Black Hoods" enigmatic characters. 
In the parish where a crime took place, the murder of the guard years ago, strange things happen…… 
At night, a man with a bottle wanders lonely areas, even digging in the cemeteries…. Seeing the character of Benjamin, this tragi-comic embodiment, the viewer discovers the colossal dimensions of the interpretation of the actor Mirush Kabashi, unique and unparalleled in the creation of such characters. 
"The general of the dead army" Graves and graves again and again everywhere in the Albanian territory where an Italian general is sent with the mission to collect the bodies of his soldiers who fell in the war!! A film script that in some moments evokes a kind of fear. 
Digging graves and taking out corpses is of course not a pleasant scene for the viewer to go through without some reaction, feeling, sadness… 
"…but I opened the hole! It was raining and the hole was filled with black dirty water…" Here is your black colonel (and throws the bag of bones)! The great actress Violeta Manushi in a scary scene in "The General of the Dead Army" 
And then comes one of the most disturbing scenes, which I believe did not leave the viewer without reacting, and not only those who grew up at the time of this film, the general's dream: "General, is the General coming to us? Where is the General?" ?" I'm not 1.82 tall…..a silhouette appears coming out of the bag (the voice of Colonel Zampa, interpreted by Bujar Lako) "Take us!! I brought you! ….the weather was bad and it was raining constantly!!
