Sundance 2104: A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT Trailer

Set to premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival kicking off next week, a new teaser trailer has been released for the Iranian vampire flick A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night.  Although the footage is very brief, it’s certainly enough to get me pumped to see this one as soon as possible.  The film marks the directorial debut of Ana Lily Amirpour, and is being released from Spectrevision, the genre film company formed by Elijah Wood.

Hit the break to check out the teaser, poster, and synopsis, there’s currently no US release date as of yet.

Strange things are afoot in Bad City. The Iranian ghost town, home to prostitutes, junkies, pimps and other sordid souls, is a bastion of depravity and hopelessness where a lonely vampire stalks its most unsavory inhabitants. But when boy meets girl, an unusual love story begins to blossom… blood red.

Cinema’s first Iranian vampire western, Ana Lily Amirpour’s debut feature basks in the shear pleasure of pulp. A joyful mash-up of genre, archetype, and iconography, its prolific influences span spaghetti westerns, graphic novels, horror films, and the Iranian New Wave. Amped by a mix of Iranian rock, techno, and Morricone-inspired riffs, its airy, anamorphic, black-and-white aesthetic and artfully drawn-out scenes combine the simmering tension of Sergio Leone with the weird surrealism of David Lynch.
