Quirky and dry, but still enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (25 July 2015)

When I heard this film described as a "horror-comedy", I expected something in the vein of "Shaun of the Dead" or possibly the "Scream" franchise. What I got instead was this odd little mockumentary about vampires going about their daily (nightly?) lives while trying to sustain their existence surreptitiously. The film does suffer from some uneven pacing issues as well as dry humor that may not appeal to everyone, but I found the film ultimately enjoyable despite the fact that there may have been New Zealand-specific jokes and/or references lost on me. If you enjoy vampires, mockumentaries, and/or quirky independent films, go ahead and give this film a look.
