A pseudo-documentary about vampires that humorously targets vampire stereotypes and successfully makes you laugh while cleverly parodying their lifestyle and daily routine. It doesn't often happen to me that I laugh out loud at a movie for so long that my laughter smoothly transitions into the next laugh caused by the next joke. And when it happens, I consider it a rarity. It happened to me during this film all the time, because there are dozens, if not hundreds, of good (and often pretty sophisticated) jokes.

I guess I expected it to be a little funnier. It has to be acknowledged, though, that it's truly immensely original, and the pop culture humor isn’t cheap, but rather in line with the overall tone of the film. The humor it maintains throughout is overall good, and after a long time, it's a mockumentary that actually makes sense.

(49th KVIFF) Cute vampires (and werewolves, zombies and other similar creatures) in an incredibly funny mockumentary comedy. The midnight screening was worth it and the excited audience added to the experience. The film ends before it manages to build any sort of solid story through that relentless series of jokes. Those who say that a sitcom format would be more suitable for these vampires are right, after all, this is film is already a sitcom episode stretched to 90 minutes.

After the flawless series, which for me ranks as my personal cinematic pinnacle, I tried the original film, but the result is incomparable. It drastically lacks the humour, the likeable characters and the utterly wacky style of the series, and as these are the main assets of its success, the result is very unsatisfying. I'd skip this and give the series a straight shot, because I guarantee you won't find a more entertaining, more twisted and funnier ride anywhere else.

A documentary about a community of undead in New Zealand. I didn't really feel like watching it, but the very first minute made me change my mind. The budget was obviously not huge, but it made the film all the better. I haven't had such a blast in a long time. I was even sorry it was over. All the characters were great, but Vlad and Jackie were my favorites. Great entertainment that I recommend to almost everyone.
