Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAbout 125 hours of footage was shot, most of which was improvisation from the cast. The process of editing that down to a 90-minute movie took almost a year. The directors have stated that they are considering making all the footage available on-line, so that fans can edit their own version.
- GoofsDuring Nick's trial when Vladislav (Clements) is talking to Viago (Waititi), Vlad visibly breaks character and smiles, then quickly returns to a straight face.
It's a conditioned reflex. They are being documented by a crew. Everybody smiles when facing a camera. Actors are trained to stifle this, vampires are not.
- Crazy creditsThere is a brief "hypnotic" session at the very end of the credits.

Absurdly Funny!
I watched this movie, knowing nothing about it before, and it completely blew me away. It had me gut-busting from the very first scene throughout the entire movie. The premise of vampire flatmates is absurd, but it works great, because the movie takes its characters just serious enough for the audience to be somewhat emotionally invested in them. The chemistry between the actors is also great. But of course, the biggest strength of the movie is, that it delivers laughs on a very consistent level. Seriously, there was probably a joke every minute, that made me laugh so hard, I cried. I really don't wanna oversell this one, but I think this might be the funniest mockumentary since "This is Spinal Tap". If you like mockumentaries, dark comedy, vampires, or are just generally into humor, definitely go see this one. This is the funniest movie of the year so far, but I'm sure, that won't change.
