Both the mother and the daughter. The mother because she was an obstinate idiot, and the daughter because she was a whinging brat. And here I thought American slashers were the only horrors with extremely annoying and stupid characters. Totally ruined my experience. The scares and the tension was actually good, but both the main characters needed to get slapped for showing extravagant idiocy.
One day in the year of the fox came a time remembered well...
kids are always annoying. and if your kid came to you saying ''a monster is my room'' you would believe them right away?

I wouldn't believe them but after a while, when all the neighbors are gone and I start seeing things, I would have dragged the child with me and escaped. Doll or no doll, I'm the adult here and I would have slapped the child if she gave me any problems. I agree that the daughter, Dorsa, was a huge nuisance.
shareHere I guess we find out that you were not paying attention without the doll the Djinn could follow them wherever they went great to hear that you would of slapped a scared and ill child who happens to be telling the truth. Given that the Djinn did not want the child to trust her slapping her would have played right into its hands and least you forget she did slap the child and that did not end well did it?
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script -Alfred Hitchcock
She couldn't just leave the apartment without the doll because they would then remain haunted no matter where they go. So what happened was the mom lost her book and instead got the doll back. Later when they left you noticed they left the dolls head in the apartments basement meaning they will both remain haunted.
shareBased on a few skin crawling, real stories of people hinding in crawl spaces and stuff, I think it's important for adults to investigate claims children make, while keeping an open mind.
I recall one where a girl had complained to her family a man was in her room and pulled her covers off her. Her family insisted that she was having a nightmare. It wasn't until the family dog found and attacked a man, living in a crawl space in the basement did anyone believe the girl. In the crawl space they found clothes, food, a sleeping bag, smoke and a pair of the girl's panties.
Kids are stupid and annoying. But having been a child once myself and knowing how much it sucks for adults to be condescending, if I had children, any claims of spooks, monsters or strangers would at least be looked into.
ok but that's a man not a monster. if my kid said A MAN was in her room i'd tear that house apart with a knife

People can be monsters too.

If you're Scott Adkins in 'Universal Soldier 4', you better believe you kid when she tells you there's monsters in her room...

I really disliked both characters as well. In fact the only one in the entire movie that I could stand was the older neighbor who wasn't seen much and left about halfway through.
I also felt the story was extremely unclear. Is it real, is Shideh crazy, are they alive or dead? I have no idea, and I was paying close attention. The movie just didn't bother to tell us.
It's a luscious treat in its production values, gorgeously filmed in moody, saturated tones, and superbly soundtracked. But the script really needed work. A lot. If we weren't going to have anyone we could like and root for, at least it needed to be coherent.
