Under the Shadow (2016) (MOME or Movies Of the Middle East #1)

Snobbies. Welcome back. Today we have a very special treat….IT’S A NEW TOPIC!! Today we are looking at our newest snob’s chosen topic which we are REALLY excited about, it’s Middle Eastern Films! Today’s pick comes from director Babak Anvari and is called, “Under the Shadow.” This film takes place in Iran during the early 90’s and the main characters find themselves in a creepy situation where their fears and traumas are being preyed upon. We loved watching this and discussing the greater elements behind the shots and what this film was trying to say. Eric was not so enthusiastic about the jump scares. We hope you Enjoy! And we want to say that we recommend you watch any of the films were talk about here.
