Has Flight Of The Conchords' Jemaine Clement Created Best Ever Vamp Comedy With 'What We Do In The Shadows'? [Trailer + Pictures]
Fans of 'Flight Of The Conchords', brace yourself for yet more eye-watering hilarity as creator and star Jemaine Clement brings you the only vampire movie you're going to need to see this year (and, probably, ever again), 'What We Do In The Shadows'.
That charming deadpan New Zealand humour that we loved so much in 'Conchords' makes its return in this wonderfully satirical mockumentary about three vampire flatmates who bring in some fresh blood and consequently start to feel the strain of immortality. A camera crew has been granted access to this undead underworld, whereby they meet Viago, Vladislav and Deacon who, apart from having pointy teeth, a thirst for blood, no reflections and the power of levitation, live really rather ordinary lives, going out clubbing in their waking hours and struggling with the housework rota.

Jemaine Clement plays main vamp Vladislav in the movie, which he co-directed and wrote with Taika Waititi (Viago). 'How to Meet Girls from a Distance' star Jonathan Brugh is 'bad boy' Deacon, while Nick is played by Cori Gonzalez-Macuer who appeared with Waititi and Clement in 2007's 'Eagle vs Shark'.

Shot in Wellington, New Zealand, 'What We Do In The Shadows' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to extremely positive early reviews and various other film festival awards. With the likes of 2012's 'Vamps', 2009's 'Lesbian Vampire Killers' and 2012's 'Dark Shadows', it's fair to say it's about time a modern comedy vamp flick was done well - and it's a safe bet Clement and Waititi have truly bossed it.
'What We Do In The Shadows' hits the UK on November 21st 2014.
