Rosario is a 2025 Colombian-American supernatural horror film directed by Felipe Vargas, starring Emeraude Toubia and David Dastmalchian. Set during a brutal snowstorm, the film traps a grieving young woman alone with her grandmother's body — and with whatever has claimed it.

What is Rosario about?

When her grandmother passes away on a snow-locked night, Rosario finds herself unable to leave — the roads are impassable and the ambulance cannot get through. Isolated in the family home, she settles in to keep vigil through the long hours. But as the blizzard tightens its grip, strange and terrifying forces begin to manifest around her. The grandmother's body, which should be still, is not. Something ancient and malevolent has made a home inside it, and now Rosario must survive until dawn against an enemy that wears the face of someone she loved. The film unfolds largely in one location, building dread through confined spaces, sound design, and mounting supernatural menace rather than cheap shock tactics.

Cast & crew

Emeraude Toubia, known to international audiences for her television work, carries nearly the entire film as Rosario — her performance must communicate terror, grief, and love simultaneously in a largely solo role. David Dastmalchian, the Iranian-Canadian character actor celebrated for genre films, appears in a supporting capacity alongside Paul Ben-Victor and Diana Lein. Director Felipe Vargas guides the ensemble through a pressure-cooker single-location scenario.

Context & significance

For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, Rosario arrives with built-in appeal: David Dastmalchian's Iranian heritage makes him a familiar and admired face across the community, and his presence in a prestige horror production is something many viewers follow closely. Beyond that, the film's premise — a night alone with the dead, in a house that becomes hostile — taps into universal fears around death, family, and protective grief that resonate across cultures. The supernatural horror genre has always drawn strong engagement from Iranian diaspora audiences who grew up with folklore traditions around the afterlife, spirits, and the hours between dusk and dawn. Rosario is available on K-Time with both Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles, making it fully accessible whether you prefer to watch in your native language or follow along in Persian while hearing the original dialogue.
