What We Do in the Shadows

If you're under the impression you know everything there is to know about vampires, then think again! Because New Zealanders do it better, and they've even got their own vamp reality shows!

If you're under the impression you know everything there is to know about vampires, then think again! Because New Zealanders do it better, and they've even got their own vamp reality shows!

A TV crew decides to document the everyday life of a very idiosyncratic group of roommates. Especially since they happen to be age-old vampires, dealing with contemporary problems in their own special way.

How do you pay the rent when you're constantly broke? How are you supposed to get through face control in the coolest club in town when you can't see yourself in the mirror to get dolled up? Who's going to clean up the bloody room after dinner? And what happens when diametrically opposed personalities, sharing the same apartment, eventually clash? Only problem is, this bunch of dudes actually have supernatural powers and can turn into bats.

Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi deliver a blood-drenched, hilariously funny surprise with sophisticated fangs, miles away from cheap thrills and easy laughs, that got an enthusiastic response at Sundance. Τ.Τh.

    Dead Snow 2

    Dead Snow 2

    Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola picks up right were he left off in "Dead Snow", delivering brood-drenched entertainment to b-movie fans that redefines the term "guilty pleasure".

    Life After Beth

    Life After Beth

    The most scathing zombie comedy of the year is here and it's a barrel of morbid laughs. Newcomer Jeff Baena recruits Aubrey Plaza, Dane DeHaan and John C. Reilly in all their slapstick glory, throwing fresh meat to the most insatiable movie genre in the history of cinema!

    Coherence

    Coherence

    What's surprising about Byrkit's sci-fi tour de force is the fact that he draws terror from the power of suggestion rather than special effects, as well as clever little ideas and devious plots that instantly transform "Coherence" into a film you'll be carrying around in your head for a long time to come.

    It Follows

    It Follows

    A half-naked girl runs out of her house screaming at the top of her lungs, trying to escape a mortal danger only she can see, as he parents look on, perplexed. Her panic drives her all the way to the beach, where she leaves a note before her mangled body is discovered sometime later.
