An old house, a circle of old friends, and a title borrowed from the party game that assigns someone the role of the wolf — Gorgbazi (2018) turns a familiar night of reunion into one of Iranian cinema's rare ventures into horror-tinged mystery, directed by Abbas Nezamdoost.

What is GorgBazi about?

The setting is an inherited house, recently passed down to one member of a close-knit group of friends, who invites the others over for an evening together. Memories resurface, and the mood recalls the wolf game the title invokes — the parlor game of hidden identities where players must guess who among them is not what they claim to be. Then unexpected guests arrive, and the ordinary shape of the evening starts to blur. Small strange occurrences accumulate through the house; suspicions that began lightly harden into something real, and old grievances buried within the friendship surface under pressure. Nezamdoost keeps the house itself at the heart of the film, and the mounting unease keeps characters and audience alike guessing about what is actually happening — and who can still be trusted by the time the night is over.

About the cast

The ensemble is led by three familiar faces of contemporary Iranian cinema: Negar Javaherian, Ali Mosaffa and Hanieh Tavassoli. Mosaffa brings his trademark reserve to the group's quieter register, while Javaherian and Tavassoli carry the mounting unease as the evening tilts from reunion into dread. Seeing actors known for acclaimed dramatic work inside a genre piece is part of the film's curiosity.

Context & significance

Horror is one of the least-travelled genres in Iranian cinema, and Gorgbazi belongs to a small cluster of late-2010s films that tried to bring genre thrills to the mainstream with recognizable stars. Its premise draws on the wolf game itself — the social deduction game hugely popular at Iranian gatherings, known elsewhere as Mafia or Werewolf — a hook instantly familiar to Persian-speaking audiences. Released in 2018 at a tight 90 minutes, it blends drama, mystery and horror into a chamber piece that keeps the tension personal rather than spectacle-driven.
