MIFF veteran Taika Waititi (Boy, MIFF 2010; Eagle vs Shark, MIFF 2007) and Flight of the Conchords mastermind Jemaine Clement perform in and direct this entertaining mockumentary that mines surprising new laughs from the vampire genre.

Three vampire flatmates are just trying to get by in modern society: paying rent, drawing up housework rosters and getting invited into nightclubs. When their 8000-year-old friend, Petyr, turns 20-something Nick into their newest undead recruit, the guys must teach him the ropes of eternal existence. In return, Nick gives them a crash-course in early 21st-century life in Wellington, New Zealand.
