Raw File is a 2025 American horror-thriller directed by Aaron Dobson, blending found-footage tension with crime investigation. Running 98 minutes, the film drops its protagonists into a decaying apartment building where a suspicious death conceals something far more disturbing lurking in the dark.
What is Raw File about?
When authorities flag a supposed suicide as highly irregular, a determined investigator and her cameraman partner are assigned to dig deeper at the scene — a sprawling, dimly lit apartment complex that holds far more secrets than anyone expected. As they move through shadowed corridors interviewing residents and piecing together the victim's last hours, an unseen presence makes itself known in increasingly terrifying ways. The duo must choose between professional duty and raw survival instinct, all while their footage captures horrors that will be impossible to explain once they finally manage to get out.
Cast & crew
The film is directed by Aaron Dobson, making a mark in low-budget genre filmmaking with an emphasis on atmosphere and pacing. Monica Oprisan leads as the investigator, bringing controlled intensity to a role that demands both procedural authority and mounting fear. Christopher Sutcliffe plays her cameraman, Alexander Bishop and Lucy Whelan round out the ensemble in supporting roles that feed the escalating dread.
Context & significance
Found-footage and corridor-horror hybrids have long held strong appeal among Persian-speaking genre fans globally, and Raw File fits squarely into that tradition — compact, claustrophobic, and relentless. For diaspora viewers who grew up on international horror imports before streaming made everything accessible, films like this scratch a specific itch: a tight location, a mystery that opens into something primal, and a camera that keeps rolling even when it probably should not. Raw File is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing AND Persian subtitles, making it fully accessible whether you prefer to watch in your own language or follow along with the original audio.
