10 Potentially Awesome Movies Released In May 2015
4. A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night
A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night represents a cinematic first - it's the first Iranian vampire movie ever to be made, and one of the few Iranian horror movies to get a release in the West. Fortunately, this novelty factor isn't the only reason to recommend it. The movie debut of Ana Lily Amirpour, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night suggests that contemporary Iranian cinema has a lot to say about movies from around the world, particularly Hollywood. Amirpour mashes up the genres with flair and confidence, taking on horror, spaghetti westerns and gender politics in one fell swoop. While some critics have suggested there's too much style and not enough substance, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is certainly a refreshing take on a genre seen from a unique perspective. Besides, what's wrong with style?
