I reckon I’d never seen an Iranian horror movie prior to peeping “The Night” (available on VOD and in select theaters beginning Friday, Jan. 29). I always meant to see “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night,” but never got around to it. Baback (Shahab Hosseini) and Neda (Niousha Noor) are a married Iranian couple living with their baby daughter Shabnam (Leah Oganyan) in the United States. After visiting friends for the evening, Baback insists that he must drive them home despite being drunk because Neda’s license is suspended. As Baback’s driving worsens placing the family in a progressively precarious position, Neda demands that they stop and get a hotel room for the night so he can sleep it off. Baback complies.
