A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night

A lonesome vampire. A stolen skateboard. One unforgettable ghost town. "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night" follows a chador-clad vampire who preys on bad men in the fictional Iranian town of Bad City, continuing The Next Reel's Horror Debuts series. Ana Lily Amirpour writes and directs her black-and-white feature debut, starring Sheila Vand and Arash Marandi.Pete and Andy dig into Amirpour as a filmmaker and personality as much as the film itself, splitting on pacing before landing in the same place of real admiration. It's a patient, genre-bending piece of work that lingers well after the credits roll.
