(Handing out candy so time for a couple of festive Halloween/horror movies) 

Persian film, 2016, set during the Iran/Iraq conflict of the 80's. The premise, a mother and daughter are haunted by Djinn - is underscored by the everyday horrors of their government and war. This was good. And intertwining the socio/political/religious themes with demonology of the Arabic world is brilliant.

This was good.
