What We Do in the Shadows
Some interviews with some vampires.
Directed by Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement
Produced by Unison Films, Defender Films
A deadpan mockumentary that mines comedy from the domestic mundanities of vampire housemates, balancing absurdist humor with genuine affection for its found-family ensemble.
Vampire housemates try to cope with the complexities of modern life and show a newly turned hipster some of the perks of being undead.
