A wickedly funny vampire comedy where immortality is easy, but sharing a house is murder.

Flatmates Viago, Vladislav and Deacon are three vampires struggling with the everyday challenges of modern life in suburban Wellington. Between arguments over household chores, awkward nights out, troublesome werewolves and the occasional unfortunate dinner guest, eternal life isn't quite the glamorous existence they imagined.

Filmed in the style of a documentary, What We Do in the Shadows follows these gloriously dysfunctional creatures of the night as they attempt to navigate a world that has moved on without them.

From the wonderfully twisted minds of Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement comes a brilliantly inventive, deadpan comedy that turns vampire mythology on its head. Packed with absurd situations, razor-sharp humour and unforgettable characters, the film has become an international cult favourite.

Irreverent, outrageous and irresistibly funny, What We Do in the Shadows is a modern cult classic that proves even vampires have trouble finding good housemates.
