You'll be praying for check out time on 2nd April, as Vertigo Releasing announces the arrival of the fright-packed chiller THE NIGHT.
A cross between The Shining and The Haunting of Hill House, THE NIGHT is set over a long dark night in a mysterious hotel, where a young couple are tormented by ghosts of the past. An outstanding debut feature from writer/director Kourosh Ahari, featuring fantastic lead performances from Shahab Hosseini (A Separation), and Niousha Noor (Here and Now), the film is soaked in dread and delivers some genuinely hair-raising horror moments.
THE NIGHT is filmed in an LA hotel actually alleged to be haunted, which makes The Shining's Overlook seem positively welcoming; Ahari's nerve-jangler is a brilliantly gripping and nightmarish vision by a masterful new talent - with an ending M. Night Shyamalan would kill for. If you were glued to Netflix's The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, be sure to make your reservations now for a night with THE NIGHT. You'll jump right out of your complimentary bathrobe. Check out the trailer at the link above.
