Netflix pick for 5/11/15 – ‘A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night’

Outside of Guillermo Del Toro movies and television shows, vampires are normally portrayed as good looking, ultra hip denizens, extremely sexy and predatory, seducing people and trying to lure them in to get grasp. But isn’t there a place for vampire movies that can exist between these two?

Not entirely sexy predator, not entirely monster, somewhere in the middle, lost and wandering and just trying to live? Of course there is. That’s where we’ll find “A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night.”

From my original review of “A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night:”

“A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night” is the kind of movie that comes around every now and then and reminds us that original movies can still be made within the confines of well-worn genres. Vampire movies have been made for about 100 years now, so what can be done with the genre now that has not been done already? Well, how about an Iranian vampire movie shot in black and white, with a feminist slant and a dope “sad synth pop” soundtrack, and influenced in equal parts by 1960’s Italian-made westerns and 1980’s American indies? Because that is what we have here, and it is pretty damn cool.

Seriously just dig this trailer, check out how totally boss this thing looks:

Watch this kick ass, super cool movie right here on the Netflix Instant and get ready for more awesome movies from this Ana Lily Amirpour.
