Movie Maven and Cube Critic Stephanie Curtis joins Steve Seel and Jill Riley to talk about a new vampire mockumentary from the team behind Flight of the Conchords.

Starring and directed by Jermaine Clement, What We Do in the Shadows follows a group of vampires who live together in Wellington, New Zealand.

"It sounds like The Real World for vampires," Jill says, and Stephanie agrees, saying it resembles the earlier iterations of the MTV program.

"It's sort of a one-joke movie, but it's such a good joke," Stephanie says. "I found myself giggling endlessly. … It's a sweet and really lovely movie."

What We Do in the Shadows is unrated and is playing at the Landmark Lagoon Cinema in Minneapolis.
