The stark black and white presentation gives a dream like feel to this film. Although I wouldn't label this a "western" like it is touted in all the PR, it does have a desert thing going on, being in Iran and all.
I've never seen a vampire tale told from this perspective. This is an art house movie, so not for everyone, but I imagine even people not into art house would be into this if they gave it a chance. It's not "scary" per se, but very watchable. Surprisingly, what sold me on watching this was seeing a teenager on my block who had a skateboard with the vampire girl from this movie on it.
