A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)
Rating: ★★★½
Oct 20, 2014Iranian Vampire Film
Purportedly the world's first Iranian vampire film. Although not quite the case, this gives the film an attention grabbing pitch. The film has the wonderfully haunted quality of a Nadja while inverting both vampiric and Islamic imagery with sensational regard

May 1, 2015Internet Stalker and Surveillance Thriller
This Nacho Vigalondo film prefigured Unfriended with its telling of a film that all takes place on a computer screen. This is the far more adventurous film with a wildly entertaining plot about celebrity stalking, featuring some outrageously improbable twists and technological feats

Nov 5, 2016Gonzo Comedy/Grease-Covered Killer
The most likely response to this is going to be "WHAT THE $%@^* AM I WATCHING?" – a film so far removed from the average experience, so located in its own unique, utterly eccentric universe it has instant cult classic written all over it
