Our take

Let the intriguing title lure you into the mysterious world of this modern, feminist take on the vampire film. Set in Iran and shot in crisp black-and-white, this invigorating debut is a reappropriation of a genre usually known for undermining women as the ultimate victims. No more, time’s up!
