Brilliant, hilarious, original comedy.
A documentary team films the lives of a group of vampires for a few months. The vampires share a house in Wellington, New Zealand. Turns out vampires have their own domestic problems too...
Incredibly original, and very funny. Co-written and co-directed by Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Concords fame, it features understated humour, sharp dialogue and clever skits, similar to Flight of the Concords.
While the budget was obviously fairly low, the cheapish production values don't detract from the quality of the movie. If anything, they enhance the movie, as the directors can't rely on fancy CGI but instead have to rely on clever plot and dialogue. It also makes the movie feel much more "real".
Solid performances all round from a cast whose only known names are Jemaine Clement and Rhys Darby (also of Flight of the Concords fame. Where was Bret McKenzie?).
Probably the best vampire movie you'll ever see.
