The Night

Ahari's impressive feature debut is sure to satisfy genre fans and has the emotional heft and classy production values to attract discerning general audiences.

As cryptic as this tale can be, we need a little something to grab hold of to unravel it. Unfortunately, Ahari withholds that for too long, and then over-explains everything once he lets go of the mystery.

All I know is this: when James DeMonaco and Frank Grillo get together on a film set and make movies, great things happen.

With the ability to raise hairs and oftentimes intrigue you, The Night deserves to be the talk among creatives of Iranian descent and genre fans everywhere upon release.

The Night brings audiences a chilling tale of past secrets breaking into the present in a truly haunting way.

I hope you can see it soon - it is classic horror, but with some fun twists, made by some big-hearted people and real pros.
