It's a hard movie to not spoil. I did a spoiler free first and then give you plenty of warning before I jump into any spoilers or ending explained. I think I did a pretty good job of summing it up. Do you agree? What do you think?

Set in Tehran in 1988 during the final few months of the Iran/Iraq war, Babak Anvari’s debut feature is a chilling and harrowing supernatural horror set in a small apartment block, and centring on Shideh (Narges Rashidi) and her daughter Dorsa (Avin Manshadi), who may have been possessed by a Djinn (a malevolent wind spirit, well documented in the Quran and still feared by those with a belief in spirits and superstition).
