The premise
A serial killer is going around killing Iran's most beloved filmmakers. Hasan, a blacklisted filmmaker himself, is depressed and wonders: why isn't he being targeted?
Horror Vault's take
In contemporary Tehran, a serial killer is systematically targeting celebrated Iranian filmmakers — and one blacklisted director can't help but feel insulted that he hasn't made the list. Director Mani Haghigi crafts a pitch-black comedy-thriller that skewers artistic vanity and the politics of cultural visibility. The film balances genuine menace with mordant wit, using the killer's victims as a mirror for one man's bruised ego and desperate search for significance.
