Review of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014) by Odjento — 05 Oct 2015
This could perhaps be one of the best vampire movies I’ve ever seen, coming close to ‘Let The Right One In’. The film is astonishingly creepy and eerie, every time the vampire is on screen you are on the edge of your seat never really knowing what is going to happen.
The film is stunningly shot with some absolutely gorgeous cinematography; some scenes look like they’re straight out of a painting. The use of black and white in this film also really adds to how much of a desolate ghost town “Bad City” is. The film even has a slight Tarantino feel to it without it really being like a Tarantino film at all. This is some truly impressive cinema.
The pacing is relatively slow but it is engaging and due to how tense scenes can get you keep watching no matter how slow it goes.
Performances are also good here, with the actor who played the vampire bringing an excellent performance.
Standout scenes would – pretty much – be any scene that the vampire is in.
There is obviously more going on in this film with its symbolism, imagery and overall message but I couldn’t fully give you a good explanation of it. I have a rough idea but I’ll re-watch it to get a better insight into it, and the film should be relatively easy to re-watch due to its beautiful shots.
An exceptional vampire film you SHOULD check out.
