Mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows follows a group of vampires living in a Wellington flat.

The film is written and directed by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, loosely based on a short they made together eight years ago.

"We've been working on this film a long time and are excited to finally bring it to New Zealand audiences," says Waititi.

"We made this film for fans of Boy and Flight of the Conchords - we think Kiwis appreciate our style of comedy more than anyone and it's our job to please them. Not physically, that's too hard with our busy schedules and could cause problems in our personal lives. We aim to please them... entertainmentingly. If that's a word. It is now."

What We Do in the Shadows premiered at the Sundance Film Festival where it received rave reviews. It opens in New Zealand cinemas in June.
