A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night

A few weeks back I watched a movie described as The First Iranian Vampire Western - A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night. I was floored by it. Absolutely loved it. To describe it, a black-and-white, Farsi language, innocent and honorable vampire love affair - really sounds like it could live at the fringe of pompous indie filmmaking. But it's accessible, relatable and just the right amount of creepy and gripping. It's also sweet and beautiful in its own way.

The film has been receiving plenty of press over the last few months and is available on Netflix now but I waited to write about it until it was available on VHX. Why wait? Because I enjoyed the movie so much I wanted to own it. I'm promoting the Deluxe Edition but, honestly, see it however you can. It's gorgeously shot, compelling acting and a fascinating balance of teenage emotion and sexual budding mixed with classic horror tropes.
