What We Do in the Shadows (Jemaine Clement & Taika Waititi, 2014)

Such a bite in the neck for the exhausted vampire genre, this mockumentary has a bunch of vampires living as flatmates in Wellington, New Zealand and explaining the daily burdens of their life, starting with squabbles about whose turn it is to mop up the blood. It takes in every genre cliche and plays with them to hilarious effect. You'll recognise the co-director and co-writer, Jemaine Clement, from the fantastic Flight of the Conchords and so already be familiar with the tone, and it fully delivers on that expectation, with one cringeworthy episode after another and so many quotable lines. Highly recommended.
