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

Director Kourosh Ahari tries to do just that with The Night, and although many tried and true tropes are present, he serves up enough atmosphere and fine performances to make his film well worth a watch. The Night focuses on Babak Naderi (Shahab Hosseini) and his wife Neda (Niousha Noor), who have moved from their native Iran to the United States. After leaving a small dinner party with friends and showing off their brand new tattoos randomly chosen out of their tattoo artist’s book — one of the early red flags for this ill-fated couple — they leave with their baby girl, with a stubborn Babak insisting on driving even

A Family Finds Themselves Trapped And Terrified In ‘The Night’ Trailer

From director and co-writer, Kourosh Ahari comes the psychological thriller The Night, from the executive producer of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Ahead of its January release, we’ve got the new trailer that teases a dark, unnerving movie. The psychological thriller 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.
