Viago (Taika Waititi), Deacon (Jonathan Brugh), and Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) are 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.

Taika Waititi's films include Eagle vs Shark and Boy. He also invented the sideways "Whatchoo talkin’ bout?" look. Actor/director/MMA star Jemaine Clement was once a mogul in the door-to-door orange-juice selling trade; but, he was tragically reduced to having his own HBO show, Flight of the Conchords, and acting in movies like Men in Black 3.
