...a serious movie about pressure on an independent-minded woman living under Sharia law...

The film’s triumph lies in its ability to critique Iran’s post-revolution regime for its blatant sexism (...), while still working as a full-throttle horror when the demons come out to play.

...creates a world where reality itself is suspect. In a year filled with great first features, add "Under the Shadow" to the list.

This is a horror film right to its core, although the nightmare comes both from without (...) and within...

Imponerende skuespillerpræstationer (...) og en glimrende forståelse for filmens tid og sted tilføjer en troværdighed, som mange gysere savner.
