A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Described as “The first Iranian vampire Western,” A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is an audacious take on supernatural lore that makes most genre films seem lazy. Directed by Ana Lily Amirpour, the story is about a young man addicted to heroin and a young woman addicted to blood. The setting is Iran but was filmed in the tiny town of Taft in Southern California.
