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.

Fangtastic Fun!
The comedy horror is so hard to get right. Then using the Vampire genre and the equally overused mockumentary style you are pushing a boulder up hill. So the mere fact that this film feels fresh and leaves me wanting more is more than a poke, yes there is more than a poke, in the right direction. Great performances by all, apparently a lot of it is improvised but the script is well versed in vampire lore and flatting mannerism, nicely produced and well paced. New Zealand seems to have a talent for comedy horror. Peter Jackson's Brain Dead is perhaps the pinnacle and this from Taika Waititi and Jermane Clement is close on it heels. Gags and gore in equal abundance with a beating heart at its center, entrails to the left. Check it out!
