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. The film features a diverse cast and crew made up of predominantly Iranian immigrants or US-born Iranian-Americans, including Shahab Hosseini, Niousha Jafarian, Leah Oganyan, and George Maguire. Shot on location in the US, The Night recently received a license for theatrical

Charlotte Kirk Set to Star in Neil Marshall's Cat-and-Mouse Horror-Thriller 'The Spiral Down'

Movie Review: Neil Marshall’s ‘The Reckoning’ Will Cast A Spell On You

Neil Marshall is a name you should be very familiar with. He’s the director behind movies such as The Descent, Dog Soldiers, and Tales of Halloween. He’s back with a new film, The Reckoning. Set in England in the late 17th century, the Great Plague is raging as the witch trials cause hysteria, people begin to fear their friends, neighbors, and family, may be witches. During this time in history in real life, over 1,000 innocent people were imprisoned, tortured, and killed with ninety percent of the victims being women. All it took was a whisper for these people to be condemned. This is a key element in The Reckoning. In the opening scene, we see Grace (Charlotte Kirk), an exhausted mother kiss her baby before retrieving a sword from a chest. Struggling, she drags the Scottish Claymore through the mud as she stumbles across her yard. That’s when we see him, her dear husband hanging from a tree. Clawing
