"What We Do in the Shadows" is a 2014 New Zealand mockumentary horror comedy film written and directed by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. The film follows the lives of Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav, three flatmates who are vampires trying to get by in modern society. The plot concerns several vampires who live together in a flat in Wellington, and their interactions with each other and with modern society. When their 8000-year-old flatmate Petyr turns 20-something human hipster Nick into a vampire, the guys must teach him the ropes and guide him through his new-found eternal life. And in return, they are forced to learn a thing or two about modern society, fashions, technology, and the internet. The film is a mockumentary, and it is played totally straight within the conceit of being a mockumentary. The film stars Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi, Jonathan Brugh, Ben Fransham, Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, Stu Rutherford, and Jackie van Beek.
