A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (2014)

Describing itself as the 'The First Iranian vampire western' A Girl Walk Home Alone At Night is a beautiful film that is steadily paced, with a great haunting atmosphere and stunning black and white cinematography. The central performances are also strong and very engaging and overall, this was just a really great film. I have nothing more to say.

Vampire (2011)

Can I just start by saying the above poster(the only one that seems to exist for this film) is one of the worst and most misleading posters I've ever seen and is a perfect example of advertisers trying to grab an audience purely on its title, leading to much disappointment and misunderstanding.
'Vampire' does not contain any actual Vampires in a traditional mythical sense, nor is it much of a horror film. Instead Shunji Iwai's english language debut is a somewhat subdued drama with a really interesting main character that assists people with suicides by simply draining their blood, which he then subsequently stores and drinks for himself. Though, it definitely has its flaws, the film stays utterly compelling throughout and has a similar tone to some of Iwai's previous work, making it a film that alot of people will find hard to get into. But those that can are sure to find a solid film that presents an intriguing and different take on the vampire concept.
