Shahmaran has its roots in fantasy, featuring fantastical elements such as mythical creatures and prophecies.

This series might not be the first time you’ve seen the Shahmaran legend depicted in popular media, so I’ve collected some interesting tidbits for you, and even formed an admittedly tenuous connection between Shahmaran and classic Doctor Who.

Set and filmed in Italy, Vanished Into the Night follows an estranged couple hunting for their kidnapped children amid their divorce. The film, seemingly a remake of an Argentinian picture titled The 7th Floor, has failed to make much impact on viewers, but the production and picturesque filming locations are clear stand-out elements.

Like most of Tyler Perry’s movies, Divorce in the Black was filmed at his expansive studios in Atlanta. It’s also — like most of his movies — terrible, but that was a matter for our review. Tyler Perry’s output and influence in the industry is an endlessly fascinating topic, since he has an extraordinary amount of power and resources and continues to churn out movies that are successful irrespective of their quality or the negative conversations that continually spring up around them.
