If the buzz from pretty much every relevant movie festival in the last year is even partially accurate, then the creative clowns behind Boy and Flight Of The Conchords (Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi) are about to come through with a new defining horror comedy for the decade. What We Do In The Shadows is a vampire documentary that chronicles the adventures of four vampire roommates trying to get by in a modern world that's not always hospitable to the undead. Sample review (via Electric Sheep):
"What We Do in the Shadows manages to make the oldest genre clichés and stalest jokes funny again. At the same time, it is original and inventive enough to generate an irresistibly entertaining vampire romp of sorts, even if things get occasionally monotonous in the mid-section. Nonetheless, poignant comic timing, themes of skewed tolerance and commitment, and the smart blend of farce and sympathy lift this alleged doc-comedy way above the mockumentary pack."
