While not taking anything away from the performances in this feature directorial debut from Kourosh Ahari, which are quite strong, particularly from Shahab Hosseini (A Separation), the bona fide star in The Night is the sound editing. It follows Iranian-American couple…

Thanks to Film Independent for the screening of this movie. Its technical qualities are far and away where its strengths lie, utilizing many effective camera and framing tricks to create a claustrophobic, hellishly dreamlike sensation without distracting from the more…
Joe TomastikOct 9, 2020Nightstream film #4: Ostensibly punishing the female lead for getting an abortion is super shitty and marked the descent into a pretty mediocre ending of an otherwise super spooky and promising movie. I'm really disappointed. Also have to give a shoutout to the actor…

I wanted to love this movie, but I am annoyed by the unnecessary anti-abortion storyline, and it kind of soured me on the whole movie. I know everyone handles things differently, but equating the abortion secret to Babak being a garbage person overall (including his secret…

It's a slow build to collapse, escaping the traditional trap of such supernatural suspense films in that both of them have secrets, and it's not the acts themselves but the deceits that have led them to this place.

Ahari’s script is perhaps too focused on the secrets of its central couple, which are compelling but foreshadowed in a belabored way. By the end, the emotional catharsis is dulled somewhat by the sheer obviousness of it all, not to mention the convoluted route Ahari takes to get there.

The repetition of the visions and the film’s deliberate pace gives the audience too much time to guess which betrayals haunt Babak and Neda, and this lack of emotional suspense hampers the horror.
