Synopsis

A handsome young man comes to Tehran from the countryside with his ailing father. Being something of an opportunist, he quickly adapts to the bullying and corruption which seem to be the norms of city life, becoming something of a bully himself. Even so, when he helps a nurse in the hospital dispose of a corpse, he shows that he is not without a certain sensitivity.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

    I forgot to log this when I watched it months ago and don't remember enough to write a proper review but all I remember is that it's QUITE BAD and that Michael Bafaro makes some truly Wiseau-level directing choices.

    This backwoods slasher horror movie doesn't bring anything new to the table, but at least it's done in a solid and satisfying way. Writer/director Michael Bafaro relates the familiar, but still enjoyable and engrossing story at a steady pace, ably crafts a creepy…
