For those hording toilet paper

A different kind of vampire film.

Some thoughts on this 2014 offering, directed by Ana Lily Amirpour and added clips from the film:

I love the back story to this movie. I found it amusing that this appears as if it were a Middle-Eastern (Iranian) movie (dialogue spoke in Farsi; with English subs), while it was, instead, shot in Cali. Even the cast looks like Iranian / Middle-Eastern people. Let’s face it: when you shoot a film in Black & White, include music that could have played in the background of a John Hughes teen angst comedy, and feature brooding young adults (and one of the chief protagonists a female vampire wearing a habit when she walks out in her predatory search for the next blood drink), certain viewers are turned off. Because a film with the style of “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” reeks of a director working hard to make her product artistic, with an aesthetic carefully and dutifully staged and shot in the hopes of being respected and admired by a broader audience, I am afraid horror fans might rise against it. I have already read user reviews on the IMDb who rebelled against it, considering desperate and pretentious.
