In a twist that would make even the most seasoned soap opera writer blush, Iranian state media trumpeted the news with all the fanfare of a village fête. The clerical Assembly of Experts, those masters of the obvious, declared Mojtaba the chosen one, urging the good people of Iran to rally behind their new leader like sheep to a particularly charismatic shepherd.

Great ghost movies often tap into our fear of what we can’t explain. While some are intensely scary, the most effective ones all skillfully blend the ordinary with the supernatural, making it hard to tell what’s real and what isn’t.
