Under the Shadow (2016)
After her husband gets transferred to another heavy war-torn area, a woman & her daughter struggles to cope with the terrors of 1980s post-revolution, war torn Tehran but things get even worse when a mysterious supernatural entity begins to haunt in their apartment.
Definitely worth a watch for the fans of other recent horror flicks that's dealt with single parenting issues with twisted & intriguing stories i.e.
The Babadook and
Goodnight Mommy. UTS starts mostly like a contemporary middle-eastern/Iranian drama flick focusing a family in distress or social issues, takes its time to set the premise for the characters and then slowly descents into the horror parts with a few but decently done jump scares & eerie set pieces. Loved it for its skillful direction & great all around performance from the central cast. Yeah...it still could have been a lot more creepier but my only disappointment was actually the ending that felt kinda forced, incomplete or to some extent "uneventful"; at least horror fans may going to miss a little punch at the end.

Man Vs. (2015)
This was not bad. Fairly entertaining! My advice: the less you know about the movie, the more you're going to enjoy it. Avoid the trailer and even the imdb page for it, cause that will ruin the fun/twist for you.
The final or additional twist at the end was unnecessary though, seen another indie-horror with kinda similar ending before.
