What We Do in the Shadows is a 2014 New Zealand horror comedy film about a group of vampires who live together in Wellington written, directed by, and starring Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2014. Best Feature Film at the Sitges Catalonian International Film Festival, 2014. People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, 2014.
Follow the lives of Viago (Taika Waititi), Deacon (Jonathan Brugh), and Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) - three flatmates who are just trying to get by and overcome life's obstacles-like being immortal vampires who must feast on human blood. Hundreds of years old, the vampires are finding that beyond sunlight catastrophes, hitting the main artery, and not being able to get a sense of their wardrobe without a reflection-modern society has them struggling with the mundane like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.

«What We Do in the Shadows is both a refreshingly different take on vampire conventions and one of the funniest comedies of the year.» Kieron Moore (Starburst)
