As you can see from the title, it's about a girl who walks alone at night. Yup, as if vampires could walk during the day, heh? Anyway, as you can see from the poster, she has designed a cool outfit - totally superheroish cape and then she stole a skateboard. Now we have a girl with a cape skateboarding through the night.
So, the whole problem is she hangs out in Bad Town. Yup, that's what it's called. Nomen Omen fits this description well. The people in there are mostly prostitutes and drug addicts or their dealers. And they are very scarce. It seems as if the town have left and only these not so great inhabitants remained. Yummy victims for our girl indeed.
However, you can see the film reeks of loneliness. Everyone is lonely and tries to escape it in their own way - be it drugs or stalking people and scaring the shit out of them.
The girl is the stalker who amuses herself by observing people and sometimes even helping them. And then she meets Arash, the pretty boy, and she may not be alone again.
The movie is really interesting. It has this nice vibe to it. It's black and white so that the colors don't distract you and make you feel like the time sometimes stands still, the soundtrack makes you totally feel like one from Bad Town and the almost nonexistent dialogue just amplifies it all.
