WASHINGTON FILM INSTITUTE cordially invites you to get in the Halloween Spirit at a NEW ZEALAND FILM NIGHT featuring the Scarily Funny Film: WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS.

KIWI VAMPIRE COMEDY:
"WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS"

96 minutes / Directors: Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi, Writers: Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi, Stars: Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi, Cori Gonzalez-Macuer

REVIEWS

“If Twilight made you queasy and Dark Shadows felt like a missed opportunity, this pitch-perfect genre spoof is worth relishing.” – Claudia Puig, USA Today

McGavin, Chicago Sun-Times
