After those horrible Twilight movies we finally get a vampire film that entertains and with the directors being stars of the TV show Flight Of The Conchords, as you can probably imagine, this one doesn’t try and take itself too seriously. With a premise best described as a reality TV show about incompatible housemates the jokes start strong and continue all the way through. Is it silly…..yes, but is it funny…..absolutely. This mockumentary hits the right notes despite the small budget the movie was working within.

From trying to get into clubs to meet virgins but failing each time because the bouncers won’t invite them in, to hilarious bat fights and macho hissing, to the extremely politically correct Werewolf gang that the guys keep running into, this behind the scenes look into the world of vampires is full of visual gags & hilarious one liners that you can very easily miss (Leave me to do my dark bidding……on ebay!) as they argue over everyday mundane tasks such as household chores and struggle to come to terms with a modern world.

With a script that is completely tongue in cheek each actor delivers with a dead-pan style that completely suits the tone of the movie and gives each character a sense of depth and history that their hundreds of years on the earth has given them. While this movie may not be for everyone, if you liked the classic This Is Spinal Tap this one will be right up your alley.
