"What We Do in the Shadows" is a 2014 New Zealand mockumentary horror comedy film written and directed by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. The film follows the lives of four vampire housemates, Viago, Vladislav, Deacon, and Petyr, who share a flat in the Wellington suburb of Te Aro. The vampires are struggling with the mundane aspects of modern life, like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, and trying to socialize. The film is a spoof of the vampire genre and features amusing scenes of vampires trying to have a nightlife and capture/seduce people in order to drink their blood. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2014 and was released theatrically on 18 August 2014. It received critical acclaim and earned $6.9 million on a $1.6 million budget. The film is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
