It's so smart, meticulous and fresh that I can only hope it marks the beginning of a provocative new franchise. Go to Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies May 27, 2015
3/5
Like a mosaic of shimmering fragments that do not compose a bigger picture, Ana Lily Amirpour's debut feature brims with stylised qualities that have been prioritised over story and characters. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Oct 14, 2025
3/4
Amirpour fuses cultural influences from Islam, Americana, and cinema into an inspired mixture, where everything seems vaguely familiar yet also original in her synthesis. Often, familiar situations occur, but Amirpour’s camera adds a distinct perspective. Go to Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast May 19, 2025

Melissa L @Agent99 Mar 29, 2026 In my opinion, it's highly overrated. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Mar 8, 2026 Successful horror movie in 1.75 hours. See more Fatima R. @Fatirosarium Nov 14, 2025 Even with minimal action, it kept me locked in the whole time. The atmosphere & the quiet intensity did most of the work, & honestly that’s what made it so good. It held my attention better than half the loud movies out there. The setting was eerie in the best way, the pacing was intentional, & the subtle moments did more than any chase scene could. & of course, I love a vampire girl who just… walks away. It fit the tone perfectly. I’d give it a 88% 🍅 See more Traci M. @TraciM Oct 21, 2025 Love this one. One the best vampire movies ever. See it. See more Ry N @RyGuy Oct 14, 2025 A feministic vampire vigilante that patrols the streets of Iran at night keeping men in line meets a gentleman with a strung-out father. This movie was alright, I wasn't expecting the Twilight romance. See more Dani G @RT81139271 Jul 30, 2025 One of the coolest and most original vampire films you'll see. See more Read all reviews
