The directorial debut by newcomer filmmaker Ana Lily Amirpour, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night has been labelled by its director as an Iranian vampire western despite being shot entirely in Southern California.

Set in the grimy world of Bad City, this critically-acclaimed gem revolves around the blossoming relationship between the titular vampire vigilante (Sheila Vand) and Arash (Arash Marandi), a young man who because embroiled within the city’s criminal underworld through tragic circumstances.

Far removed from Western genre conventions, Amirpour delivers a visually striking and monumentally moving love story. Presented in a moody black and white with a soundtrack that’s equally as stunning, Amirpour drenches her debut film with plenty of style and substance for film lovers to dig into.

There’s been no other vampire film like this one, and it’s likely there will be nothing else like it anytime soon either.
