      An Iranian western horror movie..

      It takes place in western Iran village, where people are Turkish orginated and follows their superstitious beliefs about how exersising magic can involve your family members and loved ones, making em in trouble as your punishment for distroying other people's lifes by doing that cursed action!

      It also talks about religious beliefs of superstitious western Iran ( Turkish ) peoples.

      The simillar kinda movies that can be named are Turkish (Turkey) Siccin series which is made in 6 episodes from 2007 to 2019.

      I once my self travelled to Ardibil of Iran where this movie was made and talked to it's different peoples about them religious beliefs and am sure what the movie tries to say about em is a hundred percent true!...

      Very good horror film

      The horror film was relatively good. I hope the horror films in Iran develop day by day.

      I really liked the soundtrack... The language of the film also increased the enjoyment of the film many times over...

      The good, the Evil, and the Enchantment

      Unique and innovative in many ways: Impressive music, realistic acting, awesome editing, and above all, magnetic storytelling. An Ashigh (a traditional storyteller and musician in northwest of Iran) tells an impossible love story of a saddler and a formerly christian widow who converted to Islam. But there are also jinns who tempts the saddler to come to a tragic decision in a dilemmatic situation.

      I also think this film shows the most accurate image of jinns according to Iranian folklore (as I myself imagined when I listened to my grandpa's tales.)

      Beautiful and meaningful. Extremely recommended.

      Best Iranian horror movie

      Everything was perfect, filming , plot , actors' act , make up , music & etc all was done in a really perfect way that I hadn't seen in any other Iranian horror films.

      I hope Iranian directors continue this way of horror film making based on the rich sources of Iranian folk tales.
