This import from New Zealand is an inspired mockumentary in which a group of filmmakers have been granted access to a family of vampires and chronicle not only their efforts to find sustenance but adapt to an ever-changing world that has left them behind. As the vampires Vlad and Viago, writer/directors Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi brilliantly mine the humor of the situation. This band of the undead run into one difficulty after another as they try to navigate modern mores and practices while a long-running feud with a pack of werewolves and a relationship from Vlad’s past comes back to haunt them. However, what gives the film heart are their attempts to hang on to their dwindling shreds of humanity, making them far less monstrous than we are initially led to believe.
