Vampire housemates try to cope with the complexities of modern life and show a newly turned hipster some of the perks of being undead.

THE POINT, DEACON, IS THAT YOU HAVE NOT DONE THE DISHES FOR FIVE YEARS
Review by YI JIAN ★★★★ 9

Imdb trivia:
The man who plays Stu is not an actor but actually Stu Rutherford, a part-time business analyst for a Wellington company, LanWorx. He was hired for the film under the impression that he would be working on computers, and that he would play a small part in the film.
Stu is the purest human being alive, perhaps even of all time. This is a movie about Stu, made for Stu. I'm so glad the vampires realize this, protect Stu from all harm, at all cost.
Also the werewolves scene fucking killed me.
We don't smell our own crotches we smell each other's crotches.

Don't get it, it's not real. It's not real. #12

Review by starr 🌙 ★★★★★ 8

i'm watching the commentary version and,
taika: we're kinda far into the movie, does anyone watch the commentary past this point?
jemaine: no. i don't. i always turn it off
taika: maybe there's like a film student listening. we'll do it for that one person
thanks, guys

when people tell you that they like having guy friends because there's no drama, tell them to watch this
Review by allison ★★★★★ 1

i'm really nervous. i've hypnotized those cops. i'm not a great hypnotizer so it could wear off any second. i really hope that those guys don't kill those police because it'll mean more police will come, possibly even christians which is totally the last thing we need in this house
