Night Hag

A short psychological drama

SCROLL

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Night Hag narrates the story of Mehri, a woman in contemporary Iran who finds herself trapped between reality and dream as she battles a generational curse. In 1941, Sadri Khan, a feudal lord in Tabas, ordered the execution of three girls, invoking a deadly curse from their mother: seven generations of his daughters would suffer from an incurable illness. Blending personal grief and collective memory, the film unfolds in a single sequence shot, drawing on dreams, trauma, and ancestral guilt.

A Film
Based on a Stage Play

Night Hag is a cinematic experience rooted in suspense, inherited fears, and unspoken family secrets. Set in a confined, dreamlike space, a woman drifts between past and present—within walls where echoes linger and memories return as nightmares. Shot in a continuous sequence, the film unfolds breathlessly, drawing the viewer into a rhythm akin to dreaming—where the boundaries between reality, illusion, and inherited guilt blur.
