After a night out with friends, an exhausted married couple, Babak (Shahab
Hosseini), Neda (Niousha Noor) and their baby take shelter in the grand,
but eerie Hotel Normandie. Throughout a seemingly endless night, mysterious
disturbances ruin their night’s rest as Babak and Neda soon realize they’re
locked-in with a malevolent force that hungers for the dark secrets they’ve
kept from one another.
With The Night, director Kourosh Ahari made history
for being the first U.S.-produced film to receive a license for theatrical
release in Iran since the revolution. The psychological thriller follows in
the footsteps of The Shining, luring viewers into a hotel that is both
ominous and inviting, where the ghosts of the past still linger around each
corner. The terrors that linger in the corridors are more real and
terrifying than any movie monster in a mask. The Night will make you never
want to spend a night away from home again.
