"Combining horror, film noir and westerns, Ana Lily Amirpour's debut feature is a refreshing take on vampire lore."
- Globe and Mail
"All by itself nearly makes up for every failed attempt of the past decade to breath new life in the vampire genre."
- The Public
"Deftly mixes genre tropes while creating its own singular, surreal universe. I've never seen another film where a female vampire dressed in a chador rides a skateboard, that's for sure." - Kill Your Darlings
The first Iranian Vampire Western ever made, Ana Lily Amirpour's debut feature basks in the sheer pleasure of pulp. A joyful mash-up of genre, archtype, and iconography, its prolific influences span spaghetti westerns, graphic novels, horror films, and the Iranian New Wave.
