Slant Magazine
The film sympathetically renders the small humiliations and inconveniences of life as an old-world vampire struggling with modernity.

Here it is at long last: a truly great vampire comedy. And also the funniest horror film to come out of New Zealand since Braindead.

A very funny Kiwi take on vampire lore and its application to the modern world.

This isn’t much more than a series of ridiculously dotty sketches, and might have worked better as a sitcom, but it’s surprisingly hilarious.

Sharp as fangs, warm as fresh blood, this could be the funniest movie of the year. New Zealand’s answer to Edgar Wright.
