DESCRIPTION

When in the corrupt-to-the-core Bad City a beautiful, lonely vampire meets the town's only honest man, it becomes clear that nothing will ever be the same again. But can a place run by crime, drugs, and prostitution also be a place where true love might bloom? And will the noble blood-drinker – who by night rides her skateboard, clad in traditional Iranian chador and single-handedly dealing out justice – find happiness with the handsome mortal? “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” is an original play on film genres: from vampiric horror, through romantic love story, to Iranian western. The film enthralls with its stylish cinematography, psychedelic music, and the titular role of Sheili Vand.
