Synopsis: Follow the lives of Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav - three flatmates who are just trying to get by and overcome life’s obstacles, like being immortal vampires who must feast on human blood. Hundreds of years old, the vampires are finding that beyond sunlight catastrophes, hitting the main artery and not being able to get a sense of their wardrobe without a reflection, modern society has them struggling with the mundane like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs and overcoming flatmate conflicts.

3 stars (Good Enough) I fear the american audience won't get the kiwi humour present in this frightfully funny horror-comedy. Being a Wellingtonian made it all the more enjoyable to watch. ~Anon

4 stars (Very Good) An enjoyable film. Many droll lines and observations. Maybe it won't suit everybody but it suited me. ~Anon

4 stars (Very Good) Surrealistic zero-budget fun from Hawker St, Wellington. Very likable; very kiwi. Excellent! Very much more creative than the new flag designs, and very much cheaper. Great for a Saturday night ~Sandy

3 stars (Good Enough) It is hard to dislike. It compares very well against those productions with bigger budgets in the crowded vampire comedy genre. ~Tubbs
