Under the Shadow (2016)
Directed by Babak Anvari
4.2/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"84 minQuick Hit
Under the Shadow unfolds like a supernatural dread machineātense, intimate, and never wastes a scare.
Full Take
Under the Shadow leans hard into supernatural horror energy, and Babak Anvari keeps the tone tense without letting the movie drift. This one understands that tension beats noise, so it keeps tightening the screws until you're stuck in it. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.
