Reviews


100
Empire - Kim Newman
A quality ghost story with an unusual backdrop and great performances.

CineVue - Martyn Conterio
Under the Shadow is not only perfectly paced, the storytelling and plotting is emotionally gripping. The director also uses setting and location, composition and framing like a master of horror.
91
Consequence of Sound - Michael Roffman
The Iranian filmmaker wisely uses the genre to work through themes of oppression, rebellion, and femininity without ever politicizing the film. This is prestige horror, the kind with tricks and treats that arrive with purpose and linger for years.
91
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Under the Shadow smartly observes the emotions stirred up by a world defined by restrictions, and the terrifying possibility that they might be inescapable.
90
The Hollywood Reporter - David Rooney
Anvari deftly builds and sustains tension throughout, crafting a horror movie that respects genre conventions...while firmly establishing its own distinctive identity.
