Chand Daghighe Bad

Chand Daghighe Bad is an Iranian short thriller-drama directed and produced by Seyed Javad Hosseini. The film combines elements of suspense and psychological tension while exploring the growing influence of technology—particularly artificial intelligence—on human behavior and decision-making.

The story unfolds during a tense night journey when four passengers find themselves traveling together in a car. What initially appears to be an ordinary trip quickly turns unsettling after each of them receives a mysterious message on their phones warning that “there is a killer in the car.” This sudden message creates immediate suspicion and fear among the passengers. As the minutes pass, the atmosphere inside the vehicle becomes increasingly tense, and the characters begin to question each other’s intentions.

The film focuses on how uncertainty and digital information can influence human reactions. As the passengers struggle to determine whether the message is real or a technological manipulation, trust begins to collapse and paranoia spreads among them. Each character becomes both a potential victim and a possible suspect, turning the confined space of the car into a psychological battleground.

Through its compact narrative and suspenseful pacing, A Few Minutes Later reflects on the fragile nature of trust in the digital age. By blending technology-driven conflict with human emotions, the film presents a thought-provoking exploration of fear, perception, and the unpredictable consequences of artificial intelligence in everyday life.
