Kamelya Youssef Bitch Media Defies genre. Jan 22, 2021 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online It's so smart, meticulous and fresh that I can only hope it marks the beginning of a provocative new franchise. Rated: A Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies 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. Rated: 3/5 May 27, 2015 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 3/4 Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast The epitome of the statement "it's a vibe." Rated: 4/5 May 19, 2025 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast As a vampire film, it's slightly tepid, but this stylish black and white film is packed with rich thematic visuals and oozes style. Rated: 3.5/5 May 14, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Traci M. Love this one. One the best vampire movies ever. See it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Ry N 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review Dani G One of the coolest and most original vampire films you'll see. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Sammy L More idiotic man hating garbage that paints men as being inherently evil simply because they are men. Idiotic trash like this is the reason modern filmmaking is in decline as modern feminists peddle their brain dead politics instead of actual compelling storytelling. Will definitely be actively avoiding Ms. Amirpour's work in the future. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Steven M I treasure this film. It’s so good to see a post Twilight vampire movie that has distinguished itself like this one. For vampire fans, this is one to see. Most of the music of AGWHAAN is performed by the respected band Federale. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Martijn t Sexy vampire skateboard patrol to keep crime rates low and even do some (admittedly not pedagogical approved) work to keep kids on the straight and narrow: I'm all for it. I also expected Marcello Mastroianni to wander in at any moment, because all the looks and acting are so 60s Italian arthouse inspired. Maybe he reincarnated as a cat?
