Two New Clips Take Us Into ‘The Night’ – Out Now On VOD And Digital

To celebrate the release of the award-winning Iranian horror film The Night, which HorrorFuel’s Joseph Perry calls “a gripping chiller” in his review, we’ve got two brand new clips to share with you. Directed and co-written by Kourosh Ahari, the film follows an Iranian couple, Babak and Neda, and their one-year-old daughter, Shabnam. Returning home from a friend’s gathering, Babak drives drunkenly, too stubborn to let Neda drive with a suspended license. When Babak’s driving threatens the safety of the family, Neda insists they stay the night at a hotel. Once they check-in, Babak and Neda find themselves imprisoned, forced to face the secrets they’ve kept from each other. And though the clock moves forward, “the night” never ends.
