Our second Volunteer Of The Month pick goes to Hillary, who has chosen Frida Cinema favorite Ana Lily Amirpour’s A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, also doubling as an entry into our 21st Century Cult series!
Set in the fictional Iranian ghost town of Bad City, the film follows a chador-cloaked vampire (Sheila Vand) who stalks the night on a skateboard, preying on men who underestimate her. Shot in sumptuous black-and-white, it’s a hauntingly stylish tale of loneliness, justice, and bloodlust—where underground rock, spaghetti western swagger, and quiet longing swirl into something fierce and unforgettable.
Part vampire noir, part feminist revenge fantasy, and entirely its own hypnotic beast, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is a genre-smashing cult sensation—equal parts Sergio Leone, Jim Jarmusch, and graphic novel fever dream. A bold debut that announced a major new voice in genre cinema, this is arthouse horror with some serious bite!
