The Night Even though making this as an Iranian film was important to me, I still wanted to make a movie that connects with people around the world, Kourosh Ahari says of his first feature film.
From the early stages of crafting his debut feature
The Night, Kourosh Ahari envisioned a tale of fear, loss and discovery that anyone from any part of the world could relate to. Even though making this as an Iranian film was important to me, I still wanted to make a movie that connects with people around the world, Ahari shares of the mostly Farsi-spoken film. It s a very universal theme and story that everyone, whether Iranian or not, can connect to because it s talking about the human condition that s shared among all of us around the world.

Everything about The Haunting of Hill House, the writing, the performances and the music selection especially, all seemed just about perfect. The Haunting of Hill House The sequel –
Bly Manor – was a bit of a letdown that showed every sign of being rushed into production to capitalise on the success of
The Haunting of Hill House, but the original is a stunner, even on repeated viewings. The source material is a loose adaptation and re-imagining of the famous novel by Shirley Jackson. The book is cited by Stephen King as one of his key inspirations as he started out on his own writing career and it s is a perfect blueprint for every haunting-as-metaphor-for-mental-illness yarn you ve ever sat through, with a whakapapa that stretches back to Henry James and beyond.
