The most consistent fear in Anvari's film is that of being a mother and daughter alone in a world that won't help or respect you. Far more so than djinn, this is a fear that doesn't easily dissipate.

There is no escape, for characters or audience. Under the Shadow is unnerving in the extreme.

With a minimal budget, [Babak] Anvari still manages to deliver a wholly unnerving universe.
