Biography
Babak Anvari is a British-Iranian filmmaker born in 1983. He is best known for directing horror films including Under the Shadow (2016) and Wounds (2019). Under the Shadow, set during the Iran-Iraq War, combined supernatural elements with domestic anxiety, establishing Anvari's signature mode: intimate horror that uses genre as a vehicle for exploring psychological and social pressures. Wounds continued this approach, moving the setting to contemporary America but maintaining the same claustrophobic intensity. As a screenwriter, Anvari approaches narrative construction with deliberate pacing and character-driven plotting. His films are rooted in specific geographic and historical contexts—whether the wartime Tehran of Under the Shadow or the urban American setting of Wounds—rather than generic horror backdrops. Anvari works across British and Iranian film industries, bringing a transnational perspective to horror cinema.
