[x_text]A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is set in the fictional Bad City, a ghost town whose residents favour a diverse range of retro influences. It finds a small, skateboard-riding vampire known only as ‘The Girl’ (the wonderful Sheila Vand) stalking the townsfolk, dispensing bloody justice.

Etched in kohl and doused in dark humour, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is the bewitching first feature from writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour. This fiendishly imaginative, distinctly feminist fusion of western, vampire flick and low-fi black-and-white indie will touch your soul and trouble your dreams.
