UNDER THE SHADOW: Netflix Acquires Worldwide Streaming Rights For Iranian Horror Pic
The theatrical rights to the film are yet to be announced. Sales of the film are being negotiated by XYZ FIlms.In 1988 Tehran, Shideh's attempts to rejoin medical school after getting married and having daughter Dorsa are thwarted as a consequence of her politically active history. Her husband is sent off to serve in the Iran-Iraq War while Iraqi air raids draw perilously close to their own apartment. As she is left alone with Dorsa after neighbors and friends flee from a city in chaos, her daughter becomes increasingly ill and seemingly disturbed. Shideh initially dismisses Dorsa's tantrums over a missing doll, but she reluctantly comes to suspect that they've been targeted by djinn--malevolent spirits that steal from those they seek to possess.
