Synopsis(from IMDb) :
The film opens with a scene of a vast wasteland, Bad City, populated with oil drilling machines and a palpable sense of being a quasi ghost town. Here, Arash a lonely teenager with a drug addicted father who consistently owes money to a dealer, tries his best to make a living working as a gardener for a rich family. Unknown to him, the city is inhabited by a lonely young vampire whose name we never learn. She acts as a sort of vigilante, choosing to feed from those who she considers "bad", killing them without mercy. When one night she runs into Arash, she will finally know the possibilities that love offers, and that even in Bad City, shines a small glimmer of hope.
Is "The Girl" a final girl?
At first I think The Girl suits the character for the killer. However, when I think deeply, I change my mind. I believe that "The Girl" is a final girl. This is because, The Girl is introduced at the beginning. The director also develop her character in psychological detail for example what she does, where she lives, and what she loves.
Beside that, another characteristic for the girl is she is the first character to sense something amiss and only one to deduce from accumulating evidence the patterns. The Girl shows this characteristic when she knows all bad guys in the Bad City. She looks for the bad guy and even tracking them on the street. She also addresses them by sucking their blood.
For this film, we can say that the killer is represented by the bad guy that she kills. The examples of the bad guy are Saeed "the Pimp" and Hossein "the Junkie".
She also shows her masculinity when she use skateboard which is more dominantly used by male. Last but not least, the final girl actually destroys the antagonist and saves herself which is exactly what The Girl did in this film. The Girl is the hero for this film.
