Building the unease slowly and gently up to some truly jumpy (but not really scary) moments works well in this war torn Iran setting, taking its time to ground you in the situation and then show bombs are not the only thing to be afraid of. Both mother and daughter characters are not very inviting or particularly likeable but you still want them to get away. A quiet horror that knows when to give you the chills, not the greatest effects but used sparingly so no matter, well scripted and realistic the parents relationship is fittingly performed. Watch in the dark!
Like This Watch These: The Babadook (2014) Much scarier mum and child horror, The Conjuring 2 (2016) Another family tormented by spirits Let The Right One In (2008) (Subs) Children wise beyond their years.
