As thought-provoking as it is terrifying, this socio-political spookfest is an unforgettable experience.

Tehran, 1988. When her husband leaves to serve in the Iran-Iraq War, Sideh and young daughter Dorsa are left alone in their apartment. As the threat of Iraqi air raids loom closer, Dorsa’s behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, leading Shideh to believe they are the target of an evil djinn. Arguably one of this century’s most frightening films, Babak Anvari’s remarkable debut deftly juxtaposes the fantastical threat of the supernatural with the everyday oppression of a woman living under Sharia law.
