GhoulWatcher – 7/10
“The blend of real-world horror and the supernatural really got under my skin. The oppressive atmosphere of war-torn Tehran made the haunting feel almost tangible. A slow burn, but the scares are effective when they hit.”
NightTerror82 – 5/10
“I wanted to love this, but it felt a bit too slow for me. The acting was strong and the setting was haunting, but I wished for more scares and a faster pace. It's more drama than horror, in my opinion.”
TerrorMaven – 8/10
“The atmospheric dread is off the charts! The way the film uses the political turmoil to amplify the supernatural elements is genius. I appreciated the unsettling vibe and the mother-daughter dynamic. Definitely a must-watch for art-house horror fans.”
FrightMate – 6/10
“It had its moments, but I felt the story didn't fully deliver on its potential. The supernatural elements felt a bit underdeveloped, and I was left wanting more resolution. Still, the performances were compelling, and the creepy set pieces were effective.”
